When does Nichirei plan to restore its disrupted services?

Question

Accepted Answer

Nichirei plans to gradually restore its disrupted services starting Friday.
Nichirei said it planned to gradually restore its services starting Friday after a cyberattack disrupted operations at its subsidiaries, including deliveries. The disruption has also affected shipments for businesses including Ezaki Glico’s ice cream products, Kura Sushi outlets in western Japan, and Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan restaurants.
The cyberattack disrupted refrigerated deliveries across Nichirei subsidiaries
Nichirei said it came under a cyberattack that disrupted the operations of its subsidiaries, including deliveries. As a refrigerated warehouse operator, Nichirei plays a role in supply chains that depend on cold storage and transport.
The restoration timeline begins on Friday
Nichirei’s stated plan is to gradually restore its services starting Friday. This timing is tied directly to the company’s disruption from the latest hack.
Other food and retail operators reported shipment delays during the disruption
Ezaki Glico said some ice cream products rely on Nichirei refrigerated warehouses, and local media reported that up to 20 per cent of Glico ice cream products were impacted. Kura Sushi said its outlets in the west were experiencing shipment delays for some products, while Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan warned its restaurants could face shortages that might require removing some items from the menu or temporarily closing stores.
The wider fallout reflects a pattern of cyberattacks hitting logistics and operations
The incident was described as the latest case of a cyberattack disrupting a major Japanese firm’s operations. In earlier cases, Asahi suffered a ransomware attack that disrupted its business for months, and Muji suspended online shopping in Japan after a ransomware attack on its delivery partner Askul.
