GMO tells customers to disconnect PCs after breach

Original: Japanese internet giant GMO tells customers to unplug PCs after compromise

Japanese internet and technology company GMO has instructed its customers to shut down and disconnect their computers from the internet following a data breach accompanied by a ransomware threat. The unusual advice suggests attackers may still have access to affected machines, and cybersecurity watchers are discussing how severe the intrusion may be and how customers should respond.

Why now: A major Japanese internet company suffering a breach serious enough to advise customers to unplug their PCs is an unusual and alarming security incident.
