Japanese media on November 27, 2025, heavily reported on the fallout from a cyberattack on Asahi Group Holdings. Early morning reports confirmed a potential leak of 1.91 million pieces of personal information, with the company president later stating the intrusion was "more sophisticated than anticipated" via a group company. Full system recovery is not expected until "February or later." Concurrently, the ongoing Hong Kong high-rise fire remained a prominent story, with the death toll rising throughout the day, eventually reaching 75, as police alleged negligence. Separately, an international treaty panel rejected trade curbs on eels, a proposal opposed by Japan, and China issued renewed travel warnings to Japan.
