Cyberattack on Nichirei Disrupts Supply Chain for KFC, Aeon and Kura…

A cyberattack on Nichirei, Japan's largest frozen food distributor, has disrupted supply chains across retail and restaurants including KFC, Aeon, and Kura Sushi, with no recovery timeline set as of 15 July. The outage affects roughly 5,000 business partners and has cascaded through cold storage operations and shipments nationwide. If you sell cold storage, logistics software, or backup systems to Japanese food companies, Nichirei's 5,000 customers are now shopping for alternatives—and they need them now. The company handling a quarter of Japan's frozen food has no recovery timeline; that's your window to replace it.
