GMO Internet reportedly asks Japan to adopt 'active cyber defense' after FX-service hack

GMO Internet Group said it made an emergency request for Japan’s government to adopt 'active cyber defense,' Nikkei Asia reports. Bloomberg reports the company said its foreign-exchange trading service was accessed without authorization and customer information was stolen. Some customers reported transactions they did not recognize, GMO said; Nikkei Asia separately reports the company described unauthorized trades through FX-related services.
