We are pleased to share that we have reached a significant milestone in our system restoration. C1, our central operations system, is back up and running, and the system is ready for use worldwide.

Our dedicated team is working tirelessly as we continue to restore services and provide support to customers while implementing additional security measures to mitigate future disruptions. As we move forward, we are taking a careful, step-by-step approach to ensure a stable recovery. Services will be restored gradually, and some functions may take longer to return to full operation. We remain fully committed to supporting our customers during this period and minimizing disruptions wherever possible. We will continue to provide updates on this page as we have additional information to share.

Our investigation and necessary actions to recover continue to progress. JAS team members are working around the clock to restore and resume services to our customers and vendors. Although we still do not have a definite time frame, in many countries we have successfully activated contingencies locally to serve urgent needs, and we are happy to report that the majority of our contract logistics business and a few of JAS entities have not been impacted. We remain committed to transparency and will provide further updates on this page as we have additional information to share.

JAS is experiencing technical disruptions impacting our ability to operate and provide services to our customers. Upon identification of this issue, we immediately secured our systems and commenced an investigation with assistance from external cybersecurity experts. Based on our investigation to date, we have determined that this cybersecurity incident was the result of ransomware.

At this time, we do not have an estimated time frame for restoration, but we are working around-the-clock to restore access to our systems and provide services to our customers and vendors.

Our investigation is ongoing and in its early stages. We will provide further updates on this page as we have additional information to share.
