Japan internet giant GMO says hackers posted stolen customer data
Japan's GMO Internet is verifying alleged customer data posted by suspected hackers following a cloud service breach.
Japanese internet company GMO Internet is currently investigating a data leak following unauthorized access to its Onamae cloud desktop service, which provides virtualized desktops to financial traders. The company believes that the attacker has published information allegedly linked to customers and its business, although the full extent of the incident remains unclear.
In response to the breach, GMO Internet has advised customers to reset their passwords and has initiated investigations, including collecting devices from customers to detect malware and better understand the damage. The incident has raised concerns about cybersecurity vulnerabilities in Japan's financial sector, with the Financial Service Agency issuing guidance in May to prepare for an increase in such vulnerabilities.
