正在与一个据称扣押其客户个人数据并与之陷入僵局的疑似黑客集团对峙的GMO互联网集团周四表示，其网络安全团队发现了可能有助于识别肇事者的关键信息。
GMO Internet Group, which is facing an ongoing standoff with an alleged hacker group holding its clients’ personal data hostage, said Thursday that its cybersecurity team found critical information that could help identify the perpetrators.
在悬赏100万美元征集未经授权访问背后信息的悬赏令发布后的第一天，该公司还收到了270条线索。GMO表示，该悬赏令将保持一年有效，或者直到肇事者被捕或被列入国际通缉名单。
The company also received 270 tips in the first day since issuing a $1 million bounty on information behind the unauthorized access. GMO said the bounty would remain active for a year, or until the perpetrator is arrested or placed under an international wanted list.
“为了确保迅速逮捕或发布国际通缉令，我们已将这些信息提交给警方及其他相关方，”GMO互联网集团首席执行官熊谷正寿在X平台上的一篇帖子中说。自周三早些时候泄露个人信息的网站被关闭以来，涉嫌犯罪的黑客集团一直保持沉默——至少在公开场合是这样。
“In order to ensure a speedy arrest or the issuance of an international wanted notice, we have submitted the information to the police and other relevant parties,” GMO Internet Group CEO Masatoshi Kumagai said in a post on The alleged hacker group has remained mum — at least publicly — since its website revealing the personal information was taken down early Wednesday.
作为政府介入的一个表现，据报道，总务省于周二通过行业组织要求电信运营商屏蔽任何发布泄露客户个人信息的网站。
As a show of government intervention, on Tuesday the Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry reportedly requested telecommunications carriers, through industry organizations, to block any sites that posted the leaked personal information of customers.
涉嫌对此次攻击负责的黑客集团本周早些时候表示，如果在周二中午之前未能满足100万美元的赎金要求，他们将每天逐一泄露受影响的GMO账户持有人的信息。
The hacker group allegedly responsible for the attack said earlier this week that it would leak the information of compromised GMO account holders one by one every day if a $1 million ransom demand was not met by noon on Tuesday.
在GMO拒绝妥协后，一个看似属于其中一位客户的个人信息被发布在网站上。作为回应，GMO设立了同等金额的100万美元悬赏金，以征集关于未经授权访问背后且能促成逮捕或发布国际通缉令的信息。
The personal information of what appeared to be one of the customers was posted on the website after GMO refused to comply. GMO instead set up a matching $1 million bounty for information behind the unauthorized access that could lead to an arrest or the issuance of an international wanted notice.
GMO还警告人们不要访问或分享任何此类网站，称这是“协助恐怖主义的行为”。
GMO also warned people against visiting or sharing any such websites, saying that it is an “act that assists terrorism.”
“我们已经证实，肇事者会收集任何访问该网站的人的信息，”GMO在其悬赏页面上写道。“如果您已经访问过，请使用杀毒软件进行完整扫描。对于任何传播这些网站、建立虚假网站或冒充我们的人，我们将采取果断的法律行动，包括提起刑事控告。”在网站被关闭之前，黑客集团曾表示，其从外部来源收到了有关GMO安全漏洞的信息，该来源在过去几个月里曾通过GMO的在线联系表单向公司发出警告，但未能得到任何回应。
“We have confirmed that the perpetrator collects information about anyone who visits that site,” GMO wrote on its bounty page. “If you have already visited it, run a full scan with your antivirus software. We will take decisive legal action, including filing criminal complaints, against anyone who spreads them, sets up fake websites or impersonates us.”Before the site was taken down, the hacker group has said that it received information on the security vulnerabilities of GMO from an outside source, who had warned the company about it for the past few months via its online contact form, but failed to get any response.
