Japan's biggest brewery announced on Monday they have restarted beer production at some of its plants, but their digital systems remain crippled after a cyberattack, forcing staff to process orders by hand, over the phone, and even by fax.

As Japan scrambles to avert shortages of its best-known lager, the Asahi Super Dry, the brewer said it had restarted production at six domestic breweries on Thursday. A ransomware attack that was first disclosed on 29 September paralysed its IT systems and shut down much of its logistics and customer services operation.

As a result, the company postponed the planned launch of 12 new Asahi products, including fruit soda, lemon-flavoured ginger ale and protein bars, indefinitely.

Just the fax, Ma'am.
