JFC International, a major distributor and wholesaler of Asian food products, last week revealed that it was recently targeted in a ransomware attack that disrupted some of its IT systems.
The attack apparently only impacted JFC International's Europe Group, which said it had notified authorities, employees and business partners about the incident.
It is possible that the attackers also gained access to some information given that the company described it as a "Data security incident."
JFC International, a subsidiary of Japanese food manufacturer Kikkoman, has been around in various forms for more than a century.
In addition to importing branded products from other companies, JFC offers its own products to retailers and restaurants.
