駭客從美國政府錢包偷走 2,000 萬美元，歸還大部分被竊資金

區塊鏈分析公司 Arkham Intelligence 證實，一名駭客涉嫌入侵美國政府錢包。他耗盡了近 2000 萬美元的加密資產，並已歸還大部分被盜資金。

A hacker has allegedly breached U.S. government wallets, draining nearly $20 million in crypto assets and returning most of the stolen funds, blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence has confirmed.

區塊鏈分析公司 Arkham Intelligence 證實，一名駭客據稱侵入了美國政府錢包，盜走了近 2,000 萬美元的加密資產，並歸還了大部分被盜資金。

The stolen money, which was from the Bitfinex hack of 2016, was reportedly retrieved within a day of the attack. According to Arkham Intelligence, around $19.3 million or 88% of the funds were returned to the original government-controlled wallet. This raised a concern over the reasons for such quick action.

據報道，被盜資金來自 2016 年 Bitfinex 駭客攻擊，並在攻擊發生後一天內被追回。據 Arkham Intelligence 稱，大約 1930 萬美元（即 88% 的資金）被退回到原來政府控制的錢包。這引起了人們對如此迅速行動的原因的擔憂。

On 24th October, Arkham Intelligence noticed the activities of the crypto wallets that are connected with the United States government. They revealed a $20 million transfer to the addresses of the mixer service.

10 月 24 日，Arkham Intelligence 注意到與美國政府有關的加密錢包的活動。他們透露了 2000 萬美元的轉帳到了混合服務的地址。

These addresses contained funds obtained from cybercriminals including Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan in the Bitfinex hack.

這些地址包含從 Bitfinex 駭客攻擊中的網路犯罪分子（包括 Ilya Lichtenstein 和 Heather Morgan）獲得的資金。

As per on-chain data, the hacker moved a large number of ETH, USDC, and aUSDC from the government’s wallet at first. However, Arkham has established that the hacker sent most funds back to the U.S. government wallet with the address starting from “0xc9E” by October 25.

根據鏈上數據，駭客首先從政府錢包中轉移了大量的 ETH、USDC 和 aUSDC。然而，Arkham 已確定，駭客在 10 月 25 日之前將大部分資金退回美國政府錢包，地址從「0xc9E」開始。

Altogether, the crypto hacker cashed out about 2,412 ETH, 7,200 USDC, and $13.2 million in aUSDC. According to blockchain analyst ZachXBT, the majority of the funds were recovered. Around $700,000 were still missing as these were sent through instant exchanges making it difficult to track them.

加密貨幣駭客總共兌現了約 2,412 ETH、7,200 USDC 和 1,320 萬美元的 aUSDC。據區塊鏈分析師 ZachXBT 稱，大部分資金已被追回。大約 70 萬美元仍然下落不明，因為這些資金是透過即時交易所發送的，因此很難追蹤。

The breach has raised concerns regarding the security protocols of wallets managed by the U.S. government. Although the government quickly regained most of the stolen funds, the crypto hack left many on-chain analysts questioning the safeguards in place for crypto assets.

這次洩漏引發了人們對美國政府管理的錢包安全協議的擔憂。儘管政府很快就收回了大部分被盜資金，但加密貨幣駭客攻擊讓許多鏈上分析師對加密資產的保護措施提出質疑。

Notably, on-chain detective Ergo BTC pointed out possible inconsistencies in the wallet’s security structure. He suggested that vulnerabilities could exist in the way these assets are stored and managed.

值得注意的是，鏈上偵探 Ergo BTC 指出了錢包安全結構中可能存在的不一致之處。他認為這些資產的儲存和管理方式可能有漏洞。

The speed of the recovery adds another layer of mystery. The hacker returned most of the funds voluntarily and almost immediately. Analysts and the public alike have speculated about the hacker’s motives.

恢復速度又增添了一層神秘色彩。駭客幾乎立即自願返還了大部分資金。分析人士和公眾都對駭客的動機進行了猜測。

Some suggest that fear of U.S. law enforcement or a sense of ethical responsibility may have played a role. The exact details of the breach remain undisclosed, and the identity of the crypto hacker is still unknown.

有些人認為，對美國執法部門的恐懼或道德責任感可能起了一定作用。這次洩漏的具體細節尚未披露，加密貨幣駭客的身份仍然未知。

Following the return of funds, the U.S. government took swift action to secure the Bitfinex wallet assets in a new wallet address.

資金返還後，美國政府迅速採取行動，將 Bitfinex 錢包資產存放在新的錢包地址中。

Arkham Intelligence confirmed that the assets were transferred to a new wallet under the address “0x0CaB63E3e978D1f66c19C480c206b01fB62F1243” in an attempt to prevent further unauthorized access.

Arkham Intelligence 證實，這些資產已轉移到地址為「0x0CaB63E3e978D1f66c19C480c206b01fB62F1243」的新錢包，以防止進一步未經授權的存取。

This move underscores the need for heightened security measures in managing seized digital assets, especially as high-profile cases of crypto-related hacks continue to emerge.

此舉強調了在管理被扣押的數位資產方面加強安全措施的必要性，特別是在備受矚目的與加密相關的駭客攻擊案件不斷出現的情況下。

Security experts have called for improved custodial practices for government-controlled digital assets, highlighting that traditional asset management strategies may not be adequate for securing crypto holdings.

安全專家呼籲改善政府控制的數位資產的託管做法，並強調傳統的資產管理策略可能不足以保護加密資產的安全。

With cyber threats evolving and advanced hacking techniques being employed, state agencies managing crypto should prioritize state-of-the-art security solutions in light of incidents such as the SEC’s social media breach earlier this year.

隨著網路威脅的不斷發展和先進駭客技術的採用，管理加密貨幣的國家機構應根據今年早些時候 SEC 社交媒體洩漏等事件優先考慮最先進的安全解決方案。

The Bitfinex wallet breach is just one of the many crypto exploits reported in 2024. According to security firm CertiK, crypto losses due to hacks and fraud increased by 9.5% in the third quarter alone, totaling over $750 million.

Bitfinex 錢包洩漏事件只是 2024 年報告的眾多加密貨幣漏洞之一。
