据东京零售外汇经纪商Central Tanshi FX的市场运营主管富永隆之（Takayuki Tominaga）称，日本零售外汇市场对GMO互联网集团（GMO Internet Group Inc.）遭受的网络攻击反应平淡，交易量保持稳定，尽管部分投资者正在关闭账户。
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.
GMO周二表示，黑客威胁要泄露使用其外汇交易服务的客户数据，除非支付约5000万美元赎金。GMO拒绝支付，并于周三表示，黑客用于发布数据的网站域名已被暂停。
Hackers threatened to leak customer data of traders using GMO’s foreign-exchange trading service unless they were paid a ransom of around $50 million, the internet services company said on Tuesday. GMO, which refused to pay, said on Wednesday that the domain of a website hackers used to publish data had been suspended.
富永表示：“对交易本身的影响有限，没有出现极端行情的迹象。”他未观察到大规模资金提取或账户关闭。其他交易者则表示，他们看到部分账户被关闭。
“The impact on trading itself has been limited, with no signs of extreme moves,” said Tominaga, the head of market operations at the Tokyo-based retail foreign-exchange broker. He hadn’t observed any large-scale withdrawals or account closures. Other traders said that they had seen some closures.
虽然黑客事件加剧了日本决策者对网络安全的总体担忧，但许多零售货币投资者倾向于长期持有套息交易头寸，这使他们对短期干扰具有韧性。
While the hacking has added to concern among Japanese policymakers over cybersecurity in general, many retail currency investors tend to hold positions for longer-term carry trades, making them resilient to short-term disruptions.
财务大臣加藤胜信（Satsuki Katayama）表示，有五家外汇公司报告客户受到GMO事件影响。GMO周六寻求政府协助，以帮助切断攻击源头。
Five foreign exchange firms had reported customers affected by the GMO incident, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said. GMO sought government assistance on Saturday to help disrupt the source of the attacks.
富永表示：“网络风险本质上是持续存在的。即使当前的漏洞得到解决，反复攻击或后续干扰也可能延长影响。”他指出，部分零售投资者持有土耳其里拉和墨西哥比索等高收益货币头寸，且是在有利水平入市的。“这使他们不太可能仅因最新动荡而平仓。目前，大多数人都在观望。”
“Cyber risk is inherently persistent,” Tominaga said. “Even after immediate vulnerabilities are addressed, repeated attacks or follow-on disruptions could prolong the fallout.”Some retail investors are sitting on high-yielding currency positions such as the Turkish lira and Mexican peso, having entered the market at favorable levels, Tominaga said. “That makes them less likely to unwind on the latest turmoil alone. For now, most are staying on the sidelines,” he said.
