Qilin, a ransomware group known for its cyberattacks, has claimed responsibility for a breach at Japan’s Asahi Group Holdings, disrupting production at its beer-making subsidiary. The group allegedly stole over 9,300 files, amounting to 27 gigabytes of internal documents, and posted these claims along with images on their website. Asahi confirmed the hack on September 29 and resumed production at its six Japanese plants on October 2. This incident highlights the growing threat of ransomware attacks on critical industries globally, emphasizing the need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect essential services and prevent potential operational disruptions that could extend beyond financial losses.
