Retail giant Muji halts online sales after ransomware attack on supplier

A ransomware infection at Askul — a logistics and e‑commerce supplier for Muji — forced Askul to suspend orders, shipping and customer services, which in turn took Muji’s Japan online store and related features offline; Askul is investigating the scope of operational impact and possible personal data leakage. The report notes no extortion portal postings yet and references a recent separate ransomware claim against Asahi.
