2024 年初加密貨幣竊盜激增，與北韓有關的駭客造成了 61% 的損失

2024 年，加密貨幣竊盜事件急劇增加，總損失達 22 億美元，比 2023 年增加了 21%。

Cryptocurrency theft reached new heights in 2024, with total losses amounting to $2.2 billion, marking a 21% increase from the previous year, according to a report by Chainalysis. North Korea-linked hackers played a major role in these thefts, siphoning off $1.34 billion across 47 separate incidents, which constituted 61% of the total cryptocurrency heists.

根據 Chainaanalysis 的報告，2024 年加密貨幣竊盜達到新的高度，總損失達 22 億美元，比前一年增加 21%。與北韓有關的駭客在這些竊盜案中發揮了重要作用，在 47 起不同的事件中竊取了 13.4 億美元，佔加密貨幣竊盜案總數的 61%。

These findings come on the heels of an earlier revelation by the United Nations Security Council, which stated that North Korean hackers had managed to pilfer $3 billion in cryptocurrency between 2017 and 2023. The latest data serves to further emphasize the ongoing threat posed by these hacking groups.

聯合國安理會早些時候披露稱，北韓駭客在 2017 年至 2023 年間竊取了 30 億美元的加密貨幣。

Crypto Hacks Surged In Early 2024

2024 年初加密貨幣駭客攻擊激增

As per the report, hackers managed to steal $1.58 billion in cryptocurrency between January and July of 2024, which represented an 84.4% increase when compared to the same period in 2023. Interestingly, the rate of hacking incidents dropped significantly after July.

報告顯示，2024 年 1 月至 7 月期間，駭客竊取了 15.8 億美元的加密貨幣，與 2023 年同期相比成長了 84.4%。

Chainalysis linked this decline to North Korea’s alliance with Russia. Following a June summit between Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin, the amount stolen by North Korea-linked hackers decreased by 53.73%. The report also highlighted a potential shift in North Korea’s cybercrime tactics after the meeting.

Chainaanalysis 將這種下降與北韓與俄羅斯的聯盟聯繫起來。在金正恩和弗拉基米爾·普丁 6 月舉行峰會後，與北韓有關的駭客竊取的金額減少了 53.73%。該報告還強調了會議後朝鮮網路犯罪策略可能發生的轉變。

DeFi Platforms And Centralized Services Faced The Brunt Of Attacks

DeFi 平台和中心化服務首當其衝受到攻擊

Decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms continued to be the primary targets for cryptocurrency theft in early 2024, accounting for the highest value of stolen assets during Q1. However, the focus shifted to centralized services in Q2 and Q3.

2024 年初，去中心化金融（DeFi）平台仍然是加密貨幣竊盜的主要目標，在第一季被盜資產價值最高。然而，第二季和第三季重點轉向中心化服務。

Among the notable breaches in 2024 were the theft of 48 billion yen ($305 million) from Japanese exchange DMM Bitcoin and a security incident on Indian exchange WazirX that led to halted withdrawals in July. Both incidents involved North Korea-linked hackers.

2024 年的重大違規事件包括日本交易所 DMM Bitcoin 被盜 480 億日圓（合 3.05 億美元），以及印度交易所 WazirX 發生安全事件，導致 7 月提款停止。這兩起事件都涉及與北韓有關的駭客。

Cryptocurrency Thefts Over The Years

多年來的加密貨幣失竊案

Over the past decade, cryptocurrency theft has been a recurring issue, with four separate years witnessing losses exceeding $1 billion. Some of the significant years include 2018 ($1.5 billion), 2021 ($3.3 billion), 2022 ($3.7 billion), and 2023 ($1.8 billion).

在過去的十年中，加密貨幣盜竊一直是一個反覆出現的問題，連續四年損失超過 10 億美元。一些重要年份包括 2018 年（15 億美元）、2021 年（33 億美元）、2022 年（37 億美元）和 2023 年（18 億美元）。

The Chainalysis report serves to highlight the evolving tactics employed by cybercriminals and underscores the need for enhanced security measures across the cryptocurrency industry. The data also sheds light on the persistent risk faced by crypto platforms and users throughout the world.
