Nichirei, Japan's largest frozen food supplier and cold-chain logistics provider, is restoring warehouse and delivery systems following a cyberattack that disrupted distribution and forced KFC to warn of possible store closures. The company aims to restore normal operations as soon as next week.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you supply restaurants, quick-service chains, or retailers in Japan, your distribution just became visible to attackers. The week Nichirei goes down is the week your backup logistics partner gets calls - get your failover contracts signed before the next hit.
