GMO互联网集团一家上市子公司遭遇网络攻击，冲击波蔓延至日本信贷市场，随着投资者对潜在盈利打击的担忧加剧，该公司债券利差扩大。
A cyberattack on a listed unit of GMO Internet Group Inc. is spilling into Japan’s credit market, widening the company’s bond spread as investors grow more concerned about the potential blow to earnings.
据彭博汇编的数据，GMO互联网集团2031年6月到期日元债券的利差于10月28日扩大至约174个基点，高于10月20日（即未经授权访问披露前一日）的约122个基点。
The spread on GMO Internet Group’s yen bond due June 2031 widened to about 174 basis points on Oct. 28, from about 122 basis points on Oct. 20, the day before the unauthorized access was disclosed, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
此次攻击针对一家提供云服务的上市集团公司，该服务也用于外汇交易。对赔偿成本和财务影响的担忧推高了投资者持有GMO债务所要求的风险溢价。
The attack targeted a listed group company that provides cloud services also used for foreign-exchange trading. Concerns over compensation costs and the financial impact have pushed up the premium investors demand to hold GMO debt.
这一变化发生之际，网络攻击和未经授权访问事件正日益波及信贷市场。
The move comes as cyberattacks and unauthorized access incidents increasingly spill over into credit markets.
SBI FXTrade公司总裁上田真人表示，GMO事件可能不是孤立案例。“我担心整个外汇行业的形象会恶化，”他说。
The GMO incident may not be an isolated case, said Marito Ueda, president of SBI FXTrade Co. “I’m concerned about a deterioration in the image of the FX industry as a whole,” he said.
GMO互联网株式会社于10月21日表示，遭遇未经授权访问并收到约80亿日元（约合5070万美元）的赎金要求。攻击者随后发布了声称包含客户信息的数据，而GMO拒绝支付赎金，并计划就客户损失进行赔偿。
GMO Internet Inc. said on Oct. 21 that it had suffered unauthorized access and received a ransom demand of about ¥8 billion ($50.7 million). The attacker later published data it claimed contained customer information, while GMO refused to pay and plans to compensate customers for losses.
野村证券高级信用分析师荻野一真表示，随着利用人工智能的网络攻击日益普遍，企业面临突然遭袭的风险不断增加。
Companies face a growing risk of being hit suddenly as cyberattacks using artificial intelligence become more widespread, said Kazuma Ogino, senior credit analyst at Nomura Securities Co.
荻野笼统表示，即使债券发行已宣布，如果盈利影响变得明朗，发行人也可能决定推迟或取消发行。
Speaking generally, Ogino said that even after a bond sale has been announced, an issuer may decide to delay or cancel it if the impact on earnings becomes clear.
日本水产株式会社（Nissui Corp.）本月推迟了原计划发行的130亿日元五年期债券，此前一家物流子公司疑似遭遇未经授权访问导致发货中断。该公司以投资者保护为由推迟发行。
Nissui Corp. this month postponed a planned ¥13 billion five-year bond after suspected unauthorized access disrupted shipments at a logistics subsidiary. The company cited investor protection in delaying the sale.
