Swedish government-owned liquor retailer Systembolaget, which is the country’s lone vendor of alcoholic beverages, has warned of a shortage of some beers, wines, and spirits across the country following a ransomware attack against its distributor Skanlog, which its CEO Mona Zuko attributed to a North Korean state-sponsored threat operation, according to The Record, a news site by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future. With Skanlog not providing a clear timeline for restoring its operations, Systembolaget — which noted the potential absence of certain alcoholic beverage brands on store shelves — will be implementing a backup procedure should deliveries continue to be delayed, said a Systembolaget spokesperson.
