  • Japan's beer giant had to delay its financial results because of a cyber attack.

  • Its world business expressed from the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Liana Byrne.

  • Bitcoin has jumped back over $91,000.

  • Why is that?

  • And Venezuela's banned six international airlines.

  • Japan's brewing giant Asahi has had to delay its latest financial results after a big cyber attack in September.

  • The company now says the breach may have exposed the personal details of more than one and a half million people,

  • customers and current and former staff.

  • It's also disrupted ordering and deliveries leading to shortages of beers like Superdry.

  • Production in Japan was back within a week, but the wider impact is still rumbling on.

  • Sejiro Takashita is a professor of management and information at the University of Shizuoka.

  • One of the reasons is that we didn't get a lot of these hackers coming into our system,

  • partly because of the language barrier,

  • the Japanese,

  • and also due to the fact that Japanese companies have always been very prepared to earthquakes and all these kinds of natural disasters.

  • So we had a lot of backup for the data and system.

  • But AI has, I think, changed quite a lot of that.

  • The language barrier has definitely gone down and also due to the fact that they're starting to understand that there's a lot of naivety in the Japanese companies and individuals as well.

  • And that's the reason why it's increased so dramatically.
