GMO Internet Group, a major Japanese tech provider, is offering up to $1 million in rewards for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for breaching its Onamae.com Desktop Cloud service. This initiative, known as the GMO Cybercrime Bounty, was announced on October 28 after the company declined to meet a $50 million extortion demand from the attackers. The service primarily hosts Windows desktops for foreign exchange trading, and unauthorized trades have been traced back to leaked logins from this service. The attackers have threatened to manipulate customer accounts and release sensitive data. They posted what they claimed was customer information on their website on October 27, prompting GMO to shut down the site and its mirrors. The bounty program accepts anonymous tips in multiple languages until an arrest or international notice is secured, or until October 2027. GMO seeks detailed information that can connect individuals or digital footprints to the breach. Tips must lead to arrests or international notices to qualify for a reward, which could be up to $1 million. The company has specified that anyone involved in the crime or who acquired information illegally is ineligible for payment. Additionally, GMO has emphasized the importance of not engaging with the attackers or distributing any leaked data. As of October 28, the breach has potentially affected over 26,000 servers. Customers have been advised to change passwords and run antivirus scans, while GMO investigates the incident further. The company has pledged compensation for verified unauthorized trades and exposed data but has not resumed operations on the compromised systems.
