The risks related to the GMO hacking incident have spread to the Japanese credit market

GMO Internet was previously attacked, leading to suspected leakage of customer information data. The company refused to pay the ransom and stated plans to compensate customers for their losses.

It is reported that GMO Internet operates the cryptocurrency exchange "Z.com EX," which has obtained licenses from the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission and the Thai Ministry of Finance. The exchange has disclosed that it has been acquired, involving the acquisition of all shares of the target company held by shareholders such as GMO Internet and its related subsidiaries. It is currently unclear whether the customer information data is related to the cryptocurrency exchange.
