聯邦調查局指責與朝鮮與黑石公司從Bybit Exchange中竊取1.5B $ 1.5B的加密貨幣

羅馬（美聯社） - 聯邦調查局（FBI）指控與北朝鮮有聯繫的黑客進行公開著名的加密貨幣盜竊罪之一，奪取了價值約15億美元的以太坊

The FBI has accused North Korea-linked hackers of one of the largest thefts of cryptocurrency publicly known, seizing some $1.5 billion worth of ethereum from a Dubai-based firm.

聯邦調查局（FBI）指控以朝鮮與朝鮮的黑石公司的公開盜竊罪之一，從一家總部位於迪拜的公司中奪取了價值約15億美元的以太坊。

The theft earlier this month targeted Bybit, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, and comes as part of a broader hacking spree that has seen billions of dollars stolen in recent years.

本月初的盜竊針對世界上最大的加密貨幣交易所之一拜比特（Bybit），並且是近年來偷走了數十億美元的廣泛黑客狂潮的一部分。

The hackers are known by the names TraderTraitor and the Lazarus Group and steal cryptocurrency “through the dissemination of cryptocurrency trading applications that were modified to include malware that facilitates theft of cryptocurrency,” according to the FBI.

根據FBI的說法，黑客是由TraderTraitor和Lazarus Group的名字而聞名的，並通過傳播加密貨幣交易應用程序竊取了加密貨幣。

The agency said it believed the North Korean-backed hackers were “responsible for the theft” of the ethereum from Bybit.

該機構表示，它認為北朝鮮支持的黑客對拜比特的以太坊“盜竊負責”。

“TraderTraitor actors are proceeding rapidly and have converted some of the stolen assets to Bitcoin and other virtual assets dispersed across thousands of addresses on multiple blockchains,” the FBI said in its announcement late Wednesday. “It is expected these assets will be further laundered and eventually converted to fiat currency.”

聯邦調查局在周三下旬的公告中說：“交易者演員正在迅速進行，並將一些被盜資產轉換為比特幣和其他虛擬資產分散在數千個地址的多個區塊鏈上。” “預計這些資產將被進一步洗錢，並最終轉換為法定貨幣。”

North Korea's mission to the UN in Geneva did not immediately respond to a request for comment from AP.

朝鮮對日內瓦聯合國的使命沒有立即回應美聯社的評論請求。

However, North Korea has stolen an estimated $1.2 billion in cryptocurrency and other virtual assets in the past five years, according to South Korea's spy agency. It represents a rare source of badly needed foreign currency to support its fragile economy and fund its nuclear program in the face of intense U.N. sanctions and North Korea's strict border closures during the coronavirus pandemic.

然而，根據韓國的間諜機構的數據，在過去的五年中，朝鮮估計有12億美元的加密貨幣和其他虛擬資產。它代表了罕見的外幣來源，以支持其脆弱的經濟，並在面對聯合國的強烈制裁和冠狀動脈大流行期間朝鮮嚴格的邊界關閉的情況下為其核計劃提供資金。

A U.N. experts panel separately said it was investigating 58 suspected cyberattacks by North Korea between 2017 to 2023 that saw some $3 billion stolen to “reportedly help to fund the country's development of weapons of mass destruction.”

聯合國專家小組分別表示，在2017年至2023年之間，正在調查朝鮮有58次涉嫌網絡攻擊，這使大約30億美元被盜，以“據報導有助於資助該國開發大規模殺傷性武器”。

Bybit co-founder and CEO, Ben Zhou, acknowledged the FBI’s announcement in a post on the social platform X by linking to a website offering $140 million in bounties for tracking the stolen crypto and getting it frozen by other exchanges.

Bybit聯合創始人兼首席執行官本·週（Ben Zhou）在社交平台X上的一篇文章中宣布了聯邦調查局的公告，該帖子鏈接到一個網站，該網站提供了1.4億美元的賞金，以跟踪被盜的加密貨幣並通過其他交易所凍結它。

Bybit has said an attacker manipulated a routine transfer of ethereum, one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, from a so-called “cold” or offline wallet.

拜比特說，一名攻擊者操縱以太坊的常規轉移，即最受歡迎的加密貨幣之一，是從所謂的“冷”或離線錢包中轉移的。

“It was a highly sophisticated hack that targeted cold wallets via a blind signing type of exploit, whereby the attackers create a fake interface that deceives users, since it is a near identical copy of the trusted platform,” wrote Manuel Villegas, an analyst at Julius Baer.

Julius Baer的分析師Manuel Villegas寫道：“這是一個高度複雜的黑客，通過盲目簽名類型的漏洞來針對冷錢包，從而創建了一個欺騙用戶的假界面，因為它是受信任平台的幾乎相同的副本。”

The blockchain analytics firm Certik has described the theft as “the largest breach” in the history of blockchain transactions.

區塊鏈分析公司Certik將盜竊描述為區塊鏈交易史上“最大的違規”。

The theft has seen overall crypto prices drop in recent days as investors in part have been spooked by the hack despite the industry getting a boost from the election of U.S. President Donald Trump. Industry leader Bitcoin traded over $82,000 a coin on Thursday, down from high of over $100,000 a month ago.

盜竊案在最近幾天的總體加密價格下跌，儘管該行業從美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的當選中得到了推動，但投資者被黑客嚇了一跳。行業領導者比特幣在周四的每枚硬幣超過82,000美元，低於一個月前的100,000美元。

“The situation … is certainly painful for ByBit's customers and will likely raise additional regulatory scrutiny,” Villegas added.

Villegas補充說：“情況……對於Bybit的客戶來說肯定是痛苦的，可能會引起額外的監管審查。”
