Japanese frozen food giant Nichirei was hit by a cyberattack on July 13, forcing it to disconnect its systems and disrupting operations at its refrigerated warehouses and shipping divisions, with knock-on effects for restaurants, retailers, and delivery services. The company confirmed that hackers targeted its servers and that some affected systems contained personal information, prompting an initial report to Japan's Personal Information Protection Commission over a potential data leak. Nichirei announced it would begin gradually restoring operations but has withheld details of the attack, leaving it unclear whether a ransomware group was involved.
