Hackers Breach GMO Trading Cloud, Putting 26,739 Servers at Risk

Hackers infiltrated a Japanese cloud trading service, exposing as many as 26,739 servers to potential compromise and allegedly hijacking brokerage accounts to execute unauthorized trades. The attackers then demanded money, threatening further financial damage if the company refused to pay. GMO Internet discovered the intrusion after a customer inquiry on Oct. 19, 2026. By Oct. 20, investigators had confirmed malicious software inside customer server environments operated by Onamae.com Desktop Cloud, a service designed to keep automated foreign exchange (FX) trading programs running around the clock. The platform supports trading software such as Metatrader 4 and Metatrader 5, allowing customers to execute strategies without leaving their personal computers running. Unfortunately, that convenience also placed valuable brokerage credentials inside an environment that attackers had penetrated.
