Japan’s retail foreign-exchange market has largely shrugged off the cyberattack on GMO Internet Group Inc, with trading volumes holding up even if some investors are closing accounts, according to Central Tanshi FX’s Takayuki Tominaga.

Hackers threatened to leak customer data of traders using GMO’s foreign-exchange trading service unless they were paid a ransom of around US$50mil (RM203mil), the Internet services company said on Oct 27. GMO, which refused to pay, said on Oct 28 that the domain of a website hackers used to publish data had been suspended.

据 Central Tanshi FX 的 Takayuki Tominaga 表示，日本零售外汇市场在很大程度上并未受到 GMO Internet Group Inc. 网络攻击的影响，即使一些投资者正在关闭账户，交易量也保持稳定。

互联网服务公司GMO于10月27日表示，黑客威胁称，除非支付约5000万美元（2.03亿令吉）的赎金，否则将泄露使用GMO外汇交易服务的交易员的客户数据。GMO拒绝支付赎金，并于10月28日表示，黑客用于发布数据的网站域名已被暂停使用。
