Did unauthorized access to お名前.com VPS cause damage to FX accounts? About 30 cases were wiped out, but it’s a “who benefits” incident

Everyone, if there are people who secretly manipulate someone else’s FX account to intentionally cause losses, what do you think their purpose is?
On October 21, 2026, GMO Internet announced that an unauthorized access occurred to the “Onamae.com Desktop Cloud” for FX automated trading, and an unauthorized program was installed on the server.2,6739 servers may be affected. All servers across all plans will be shut down sequentially, and the restart timing is undecided.
Furthermore, there are reports on SNS of losses ranging from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand yen in FX accounts. However, if the trading patterns read from the video are true, there are points that do not quite add up.
? About 30 trades all negative? What is the purpose of the fraudulent trades
On SNS, damage reports include 2.54 million yen at FXTF and 550 thousand yen at Gaikoku FXNiest (Gaitá Finest). There are also posts claiming that balances were lost due to large, unfamiliar lots. However, these are individuals’ own reports, and official confirmations from the companies and total damages have not been disclosed.
What to focus on is the approximately 30 trades shown in the video. As far as can be verified, the trades across multiple currency pairs were all negative.
If you trade randomly, some trades could be profitable depending on market movements. But all of them are negative. It feels very unnatural.
However, if the orders were closed immediately after being placed, the story would be different. In FX there is a “spread,” the difference between the ask and bid prices, and even if the market hardly moves, this spread can cause losses.If you repeatedly place and close orders in a short period, losses can pile up regardless of the trading direction.
However, the holding time and actual loss amounts are unconfirmed. It is not possible to determine the entire trading story from the video alone.
? Who benefits the culprit? Why profits are unlikely from reverse trades
Then what did the attacker gain?
First, there is a method to profit from opposing trades in small-cap stocks, but in FX that seems difficult. Major currency pairs like USD/JPY have large trading volumes, and it is hard for individual small orders to move the market.There is no plausible scenario where the market is moved to profit.
Viewing that FX brokers profited is also unlikely as a possibility.There is a possibility that spreads generate revenue from trades, but the handling of fraudulent trades and existence of compensation depend on each company’s assessment and investigation. Considering the loss of trust due to unauthorized access, it is unlikely to be intentional.
This time too, it is not known whether the goal was simply to incur losses or if there was another objective.Disruptive actions or displays of capability, or future demands for money are conceivable, but all are speculative.An interpretation such as “foreign forces’ crime” has not been substantiated at this stage.
? When the benefits are invisible, that’s when you should review your account management
At this point, it is necessary to separate the occurrence of unauthorized access from the damage reports on SNS. The attackers’ objective and the full extent of the damage are still uncertain.
If it were just a prank or mischief, it is hard to reason about it.
What traders can do now is to change the passwords for MT4/MT5, review trading histories, and reassess saved authentication information.If there are transactions you do not recognize, contact your broker and Onamae.com and preserve the evidence.
In the market it is important to investigate the reasons for losses, but in this case, protecting your own account should come first rather than guessing the attacker’s intent.
