Japanese beverage maker Asahi Group Holdings says over 1.9 million pieces of personal information may have been leaked in a recent cyberattack. The breach in September forced a widespread suspension of company operations.
Asahi disclosed the findings of an internal probe at a news conference on Thursday, its first since the attack.
The firm says the data could have included the home addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of workers and customers. Asahi has reported its findings to the government's commission on personal information protection.
报道称，朝日集团控股公司总裁兼首席执行官胜木敦志在东京召开记者会致歉，称“对于给众多客户及相关方带来的巨大不便，我们深表歉意。”
报道指出，这是自9月底受到网络攻击以来，公司管理层首次就此事作出公开说明。
日本广播协会（NHK）报道称，此次网络攻击可能导致超过152万条客户的个人信息遭到泄露，信息包括客户姓名、电话和住所等。
据报道，9月下旬，该公司遭遇勒索软件攻击，导致大规模系统故障，啤酒和其他产品的出货量仍然受阻。
