Japanese firms offer compensation to customers after a series of cyberattacks
GMO Internet said it will compensate customers for losses from unauthorized access following a cyberattack on its foreign exchange trading service, with all customers receiving 5,000 yen as an initial gesture of good faith. The announcement follows Japan's move to set up a team simulating AI-driven cyberattacks to find system weaknesses amid concerns over PHP programming language flaws. GMO shares fell 11% in Tokyo trading.
