On November 2, GMO Internet Group CEO Masatoshi Kumagai made a tearful apology and gave a press conference at a briefing regarding unauthorized access to affiliated services. He announced a policy of not paying ransoms and spoke about the rapid increase in AI-based cyber attacks and the industry's sense of crisis.
In response to the issue of unauthorized access to GMO Internet, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has requested telecommunications carriers to block sites that publish personal information. The reason for this is fear of secondary damage, but there are also concerns about breaching the confidentiality of communications, and each company's response is divided.

Ransomware attacks for ransom purposes are rapidly increasing. According to the survey, approximately 40% of companies that paid ransoms made additional demands. According to the National Police Agency, there were 123 incidents from January to June of this year, the highest number in six months. Experts point out that the naturalization of the Japanese language due to advances in AI is one reason for the rapid increase, and call for a system for self-recovery that does not rely on payments.
