Japan's GMO Offers $1 Million Bounty to Catch Hackers Behind FX Trading Cloud Breach
Japan's GMO Internet Group launched a $1 million bounty program on October 28 to identify attackers who breached its Onamae.com Desktop Cloud service, a Windows desktop hosting platform used for foreign exchange trading. The company declined to pay the extortion demand accompanying the breach, instead offering rewards only for information resulting in arrests or international wanted notices.
Why it matters: FX traders and financial services firms using GMO's cloud desktop service face ongoing exposure from attackers holding data from this breach, and the bounty signals the company's commitment to accountability rather than capitulation.
