Nippon Flour Mills, a major flour miller, has postponed the announcement of financial results for the three months until June on the 5th due to the impact of a cyber attack and a system failure in the company.
According to the announcement, last month, Nippon was proceeding with system recovery after a cyberattack on the company's system caused a system failure, resulting in server outages and network interruptions.
However, it took a long time to recover, and due to this, the financial and accounting system became unusable, and the company postponed the announcement of financial results for the three months until June, which was scheduled for the 5th.
Even after the system is restored, work such as accounting processing and data confirmation will be required, so the announcement date of the new financial results will be announced as soon as it is decided.
It is unusual for a listed company to postpone the announcement of financial results due to the system, and the company commented, "We deeply apologize for causing a great deal of inconvenience to shareholders, investors, and other related parties." I am.
