One of the largest operators of automated teller machines (ATMs) for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) in the United States, Byte Federal Inc, announced that up to 58,000 customers were affected by a major data breach that occurred on Sept. 30, 2024, but was discovered on November 18.

美國最大的比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）自動櫃員機 (ATM) 營運商之一 Byte Federal Inc 宣布，多達 58,000 名客戶受到 2024 年 9 月 30 日發生的重大資料外洩事件的影響，但於11月18日被發現。

According to a filing to the office of the Maine Attorney General submitted by the company’s COO and CIO, Lee Hansen, a total of 111 Maine residents were affected by the data breach, which occurred via an external system.

根據該公司首席營運長兼首席資訊長 Lee Hansen 向緬因州總檢察長辦公室提交的文件，共有 111 名緬因州居民受到透過外部系統發生的資料外洩的影響。

What Happened: The company previously noted that the hackers gained unauthorized access to one of their servers by exploiting a vulnerability on GitLab, a third-party software platform.

發生了什麼事：該公司先前指出，駭客透過利用第三方軟體平台 GitLab 上的漏洞，未經授權存取了其一台伺服器。

The company highlighted that no user funds or digital assets were compromised in the data breach.

該公司強調，沒有用戶資金或數位資產在資料外洩中受到損害。

However, Byte Federal indicated that the hacker stole critical user information that could compromise overall security.

然而，Byte Federal 表示，駭客竊取了可能危及整體安全的關鍵用戶資訊。

Moreover, the attacker accessed personal data including on-chain transaction history, photographs of the users, phone numbers, email addresses, government-issued IDs, social security numbers, physical addresses, birth dates, and names.

此外，攻擊者還訪問了個人數據，包括鏈上交易歷史記錄、用戶照片、電話號碼、電子郵件地址、政府頒發的身份證件、社會安全號碼、實際地址、出生日期和姓名。

As a result, the attackers could easily track down the Byte Federal customers and force them to cash out funds, as observed in prior similar reports.

因此，攻擊者可以輕鬆追蹤 Byte Federal 客戶並迫使他們兌現資金，正如先前的類似報告中所觀察到的那樣。

Meanwhile, Byte Federal has urged all customers to reset their login credentials to minimize the chances of fraud and identity theft.

同時，Byte Federal 敦促所有客戶重置登入憑證，以最大程度地減少詐欺和身分盜竊的可能性。

Additionally, the company urged the customer to place a fraud alert or a security freeze feature with the respective agencies to prevent someone who fraudulently gains their personal information from opening a new account and potentially borrowing funds.

此外，該公司敦促客戶向相應機構發出欺詐警報或安全凍結功能，以防止有人透過欺詐手段獲取其個人資訊開設新帳戶並可能藉入資金。

Impact On Bitcoin And Altcoin Industry: Byte Federal has grown to more than 1,200 Bitcoin ATMs in the United States in the past few years. The company highlighted that it performed a hard reset on all customer accounts and updated all the internal passwords to prevent further damage from the attackers.

對比特幣和山寨幣產業的影響：過去幾年，Byte Federal 在美國已發展到超過 1,200 台比特幣 ATM。該公司強調，它對所有客戶帳戶進行了硬重置，並更新了所有內部密碼，以防止攻擊者造成進一步的損害。

However, the company lost a lot of trust from the customers, who might get their personal information for sale on darknet marketplaces. As a result, Byte Federal will face major headwinds in attracting more customers in the near term compared to its competitors.

然而，該公司失去了客戶的許多信任，他們可能會在暗網市場上出售他們的個人資訊。因此，與競爭對手相比，Byte Federal 在短期內吸引更多客戶將面臨重大阻力。

Some of the major Bitcoin ATM companies in the United States include General Bytes with over 12k kiosks, Genesis Coin with over 9.6K kiosks, BitAccess with over 8.8K kiosks, and Bitstop with over 2.6K kiosks.

美國一些主要的比特幣 ATM 公司包括擁有超過 12,000 個服務終端的 General Bytes、擁有超過 9,600 個服務終端的 Genesis Coin、擁有超過 8,800 個服務終端的 BitAccess 和擁有超過 2,600 個服務終端的 Bitstop。

The cryptocurrency will continue to grow exponentially as more Web2 companies join the wagon and lawmakers enact favoring regulations. Moreover, the United States is expected to enact a strategic Bitcoin reserve legislation to purchase up to 1 million BTCs to help fight the national debt crisis.

隨著越來越多的 Web2 公司加入以及立法者制定有利的法規，加密貨幣將繼續呈指數級增長。此外，美國預計將頒布戰略性比特幣儲備立法，購買最多100萬枚比特幣，以協助應對國債危機。
