Overview
- Asahi reported that data tied to about 1.914 million people may have been exposed, including 1.525 million customer-service contacts, 114,000 external contacts, 107,000 employees and former employees, and 168,000 family members.
- The potentially exposed information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and, in some cases, dates of birth and gender, and the company said no credit card data was involved.
- Asahi said it has not confirmed any instances of the stolen information being posted online and will notify individuals if their data is confirmed compromised.
- Shipments are resuming in phases as systems are restored, with the company aiming to normalize logistics by February though not all products will be available to ship at that time.
- The ransomware was deployed the day of the intrusion, encrypting multiple servers and some PCs; Qilin has claimed responsibility, and Asahi has delayed earnings disclosures and warned of weaker results.
