朝鮮落後於15億美元的加密搶劫：聯邦調查局

聯邦調查局週三指責朝鮮上週盜竊了15億美元的數字資產，這是歷史上最大的加密搶劫。

The FBI is warning about a group called TraderTraitor, also known as the Lazarus Group, who are procceding rapidly and have converted some of the stolen assets to bitcoin and other virtual assets dispersed across thousands of addresses on multiple blockchains.

聯邦調查局（FBI）警告一個名為TraderTraitor的集團，也稱為Lazarus集團，他們迅速搶購了，並將一些被盜資產轉換為比特幣和其他虛擬資產，這些資產分散在數千個地址上。

It is expected these assets will be further laundered and eventually converted to fiat currency.

預計這些資產將進一步洗錢，並最終轉換為法定貨幣。

The bureau said that last week's heist saw about $1.5 billion in digital assets stolen from cryptocurrency exchange, Bybit, which is based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

該局表示，上週的搶劫案大約有15億美元的數字資產從加密貨幣交易所（Bybit）偷來的，該資產位於阿拉伯聯合酋長國迪拜。

The exchange reported last week that attackers exploited security protocols during a transaction, enabling them to transfer the assets to an unidentified address.

交易所上週報告說，攻擊者在交易期間利用了安全協議，使他們能夠將資產轉移到身份不明的地址。

The U.S. government has pointed the finger at Pyongyang.

美國政府將手指指向平壤。

“[North Korea] was responsible for the theft of approximately $1.5 billion in virtual assets from cryptocurrency exchange, Bybit, in an incident that began last week,” the FBI said in a public service announcement.

聯邦調查局在公共服務公告中說：“ [朝鮮]在上週開始的這一事件中，從加密貨幣交易所（Bybit）盜竊了約15億美元的虛擬資產。”

The agency said that TraderTraitor, also known as the Lazarus Group, is proceeding rapidly and has converted some of the stolen assets to bitcoin and other virtual assets dispersed across thousands of addresses on multiple blockchains.

該機構表示，商業貿易商（也稱為拉撒路集團）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，這些資產分散在數千個地址上的多個區塊鏈上。

“It is expected these assets will be further laundered and eventually converted to fiat currency.”

“預計這些資產將被進一步洗錢，並最終轉換為法定貨幣。”

Lazarus Group gained notoriety a decade ago when it was accused of hacking into Sony Pictures as revenge for The Interview, a film that mocked North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

十年前，拉撒路集團（Lazarus Group）被指控涉足索尼（Sony Pictures）作為《復仇參加採訪》，這部電影嘲笑北朝鮮領導人金正恩（Kim Jong-un）。

It was also allegedly behind the 2022 $620 million heist of ethereum and USD coin from the Ronin Network in 2022, previously the biggest crypto theft in history.

據稱，這也落在2022年的6.2億美元以太坊搶劫案和2022年羅寧網絡上的美元硬幣，這是歷史上最大的加密盜竊案。

In December last year, the U.S. and Japan blamed it for the theft of more than $300 million of ryptocurrency from the Japan-based exchange DMM Bitcoin.

去年12月，美國和日本將其歸咎於從日本的Exchange DMM比特幣盜竊超過3億美元的Ryptocurrency。

North Korea’s cyberwarfare program dates back to at least the mid-1990s, and the country has been dubbed “the world’s most prolific cyberthief” by a cybersecurity firm.

朝鮮的網絡戰計劃的歷史至少可以追溯到1990年代中期，並且該國被一家網絡安全公司稱為“世界上最多產的網絡節目”。

Pyongyang’s program has grown to a 6,000-strong cyberwarfare unit known as Bureau 121 that operates from several countries, a 2020 U.S. military report said.

一份2020年美國軍事報告稱，平壤的計劃已發展為一個6,000人的網絡戰爭單位，稱為Bureau 121，該單位從幾個國家運營。

A UN panel on North Korea’s evasion of sanctions last year estimated the nation has stolen more than $3 billion in cryptocurrency since 2017.

自2017年以來，北朝鮮逃避制裁的一個聯合國小組估計，該國偷走了超過30億美元的加密貨幣。

Much of the hacking activity is reportedly directed by Pyongyang’s Reconnaissance General Bureau, its primary foreign intelligence agency.

據報導，大部分黑客活動都是由平壤偵察將軍（其主要外國情報機構）指導的。

Money stolen helps to fund the country’s nuclear weapons program, the panel said.

小組說，被盜的錢有助於為該國的核武器計劃提供資金。
