The exact extent and details of the setback were not revealed in the headline, but it typically signifies an issue like disaster recovery. The company made the announcement targeting a complete revival by the year end.

In Japan, such news brings attention to business continuity planning, disaster recovery, and overall company resilience. There are high expectations on corporations to safeguard employees and mitigate damage, and swift recovery is often viewed as a sign of strong corporate governance.
