Frozen food giant Nichirei is set to resume some of its operations on Thursday, a week after a cyberattack crippled its systems. The company announced that it will begin restarting operations at warehouses and factories where safety has been verified.
The primary challenge ahead for Nichirei is the normalization of its extensive logistics network.
