Nichirei (TYO:2871) said the company suffered a cyberattack, causing system failures on July 13, prompting the company to disconnect affected systems to protect customer and personal data, according to a Thursday filing with the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The Tokyo-based frozen food processing company established an emergency response headquarters and is investigating and taking measures toward recovery.
The company plans to gradually resume the affected operations from July 17 after implementing security measures with the help of an external cybersecurity specialist firm.
