美國財政部宣布關閉北韓數位資產洗錢網絡

The U.S. Treasury Department announced Monday that it has shut down a North Korean digital asset money laundering network.

美國財政部週一宣布關閉北韓數位資產洗錢網路。

The network, which was operating through a Singapore-based company called Sing-Il Trading Corp., was used to launder illicit funds obtained through cybercrime, including the 2022 Harmony Bridge hack, which resulted in the theft of over $100 million in cryptocurrency, the Treasury said in a statement.

該網路透過一家名為 Sing-Il Trading Corp. 的新加坡公司運營，用於洗錢透過網路犯罪獲得的非法資金，包括 2022 年 Harmony Bridge 駭客事件，該事件導致價值超過 1 億美元的加密貨幣被盜。財政部在聲明中表示。

The network also laundered funds stolen in the 2021 hack of Axie Infinity's Ronin Bridge, which saw over $600 million in cryptocurrency stolen.

該網路還對 2021 年 Axie Infinity 的 Ronin Bridge 駭客攻擊中被盜的資金進行了洗錢，該事件導致超過 6 億美元的加密貨幣被盜。

As part of the effort to shut down the network, the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has designated Sing-Il Trading Corp. and two North Korean nationals, Ri Sok and Kim Kuk Bom, for sanctions.

作為關閉該網路的一部分，美國財政部外國資產管制辦公室 (OFAC) 已指定 Sing-Il Trading Corp. 和兩名北韓公民 Ri Sok 和 Kim Kuk Bom 接受制裁。

The designations, which were made under Executive Order 14071, prohibit U.S. persons from engaging in any transactions with the designated parties, and also freeze any assets belonging to them that are within U.S. jurisdiction.

這些指定是根據第 14071 號行政命令作出的，禁止美國人與指定方進行任何交易，並凍結屬於他們的在美國管轄範圍內的任何資產。

"The DPRK continues to use illicit activities, including cybercrime and crypto theft, to generate revenue for its weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs," said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson. "Treasury will continue to take aggressive action to disrupt the DPRK's illicit networks and counter the threat posed by its nuclear and WMD programs."

「北韓繼續利用包括網路犯罪和加密貨幣竊盜在內的非法活動，為其大規模殺傷性武器和彈道飛彈計畫創收，」美國財政部負責恐怖主義和金融情報的副部長布萊恩·尼爾森(Brian E . Nelson) 表示。 “財政部將繼續採取積極行動，破壞朝鮮的非法網絡，應對其核計劃和大規模殺傷性武器計劃構成的威脅。”

The statement from the Treasury also noted that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) played a "critical role" in the investigation that led to the designations.

財政部的聲明還指出，聯邦調查局（FBI）在導致這些指定的調查中發揮了「關鍵作用」。

The FBI's Baltimore Field Office, which has jurisdiction over the investigation, worked closely with OFAC and other U.S. government agencies to identify and disrupt the North Korean digital asset money laundering network, the statement said.

聲明稱，負責調查的聯邦調查局巴爾的摩辦事處與 OFAC 和其他美國政府機構密切合作，以查明並破壞北韓數位資產洗錢網路。

"The FBI will continue to work with our partners to investigate and disrupt illicit activities by the DPRK, including its attempts to launder stolen funds through digital asset exchanges," said Special Agent in Charge Thomas J. Sobocinski of the FBI Baltimore Field Office. "We remain committed to protecting the American people and our financial system from these threats."

「聯邦調查局將繼續與我們的合作夥伴合作，調查和打擊北韓的非法活動，包括其試圖透過數位資產交易所洗錢被盜資金，」聯邦調查局巴爾的摩外地辦事處的特別負責人托馬斯·J·索博辛斯基(Thomas J. Sobocinski)表示。 “我們仍然致力於保護美國人民和我們的金融體系免受這些威脅。”

The Harmony Bridge hack, which occurred in June 2022, saw the attacker(s) exploit a vulnerability in the bridge's smart contract code to mint and sell a large quantity of synthetic ONE tokens, which were then used to purchase other tokens on decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

Harmony Bridge 駭客攻擊發生於 2022 年 6 月，攻擊者利用橋樑智慧合約程式碼中的漏洞鑄造並出售大量合成 ONE 代幣，然後將這些代幣用於在去中心化交易所購買其他代幣（ DEX） 。

The attacker(s) then withdrew the purchased tokens from the DEXs and bridged them back to the Ethereum network, where they were sold for ETH and other tokens.

然後，攻擊者從 DEX 中提取購買的代幣，並將其橋接回以太坊網絡，在那裡將其出售為 ETH 和其他代幣。

The total amount of cryptocurrency stolen in the hack was valued at over $100 million at the time.

當時，這次駭客攻擊中被盜的加密貨幣總價值超過 1 億美元。

The Axie Infinity hack, which occurred in March 2021, saw the attacker(s) exploit a vulnerability in the Ronin bridge's gas-free RPC node to forge withdrawals and drain the bridge's funds.

2021 年 3 月發生的 Axie Infinity 駭客事件中，攻擊者利用 Ronin 橋的無 Gas RPC 節點中的漏洞偽造提款並耗盡橋的資金。

The attacker(s) then used decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to launder the stolen funds and ultimately sell them for ETH and other tokens.

然後，攻擊者使用去中心化交易所（DEX）來洗錢被盜資金，並最終將其出售為 ETH 和其他代幣。

The total amount of cryptocurrency stolen in the hack was valued at over $600 million at the time, making it one of the largest crypto hacks in history.

這次駭客攻擊中被盜的加密貨幣總額當時價值超過 6 億美元，使其成為史上最大的加密貨幣駭客攻擊之一。
