Japanese food logistics giant recovers as extortion group claims cyberattack
Nichirei Logistics Group said warehouse operations and frozen food shipments are returning to normal. A cybercrime gang said it caused the disruption.
Japan's largest refrigerated logistics company is gradually restoring operations after a cyberattack disrupted food deliveries nationwide, while the cybercrime group RansomHouse has claimed responsibility and threatened to leak stolen data.
Nichirei Logistics Group said Wednesday that it expects warehouse operations and frozen food shipments affected by last week's system failures to return to normal by the end of the week.
The company said it continues to investigate the incident and has not attributed it to any specific threat actor.
