朝鮮可能是世界第三大比特幣藏匿處

首爾 - 由於當局確定朝鮮黑客是最近的多個加密貨幣黑客攻擊的幕後黑客，因此，極權共產主義國家現在被認為比美國和英國以外的任何其他國家都擁有比世界其他國家更大的比特幣藏匿處。

North Korea's hacker syndicates are now believed to have a bigger bitcoin stash than any other nation in the world besides the United States and the United Kingdom.

現在據信，朝鮮的黑客集團比美國和英國以外的任何其他國家都擁有比世界上任何其他國家的比特幣藏匿處。

Binance News, a news platform of global cryptocurrency exchange business firm Binance, reported that North Korea’s allegedly state-run hacker syndicates are believed to have accumulated 13,562 BTC, valued at $1.14 billion. The data was provided by Arkham Intelligence, a Dominican Republic-based company that provides data about blockchain transactions to help identify money laundering and other suspicious activity.

Binance News是全球加密貨幣交易商業公司Binance的新聞平台，報導說，據稱朝鮮據稱是國家經營的黑客集團已累積了13,562 BTC，價值11.4億美元。數據由總部位於多米尼加共和國的公司Arkham Intelligence提供，該公司提供有關區塊鏈交易的數據，以幫助確定洗錢和其他可疑活動。

The news comes after South Korea, the US and Japan said in January that North Korea-affiliated hacking groups including the Lazarus Group were involved in cyber attacks that stole $659 million in cryptocurrency.

這一消息是在韓國和日本在一月份表示，包括拉撒路集團在內的朝鮮附屬黑客組織參與網絡襲擊，偷走了6.59億美元的加密貨幣。

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation also released a statement last month saying that North Korea is responsible for the theft of approximately $1.5 billion worth of virtual assets, which occurred last month.

美國聯邦調查局上個月還發表了一份聲明，稱朝鮮造成上個月發生的約15億美元的虛擬資產盜竊。

A portion of the stolen virtual assets are Ethereum coins, which are expected to be converted into bitcoins.

被盜虛擬資產的一部分是以太坊硬幣，預計將轉換為比特幣。

It was reported last week that the Lazarus Group converted at least $300 million of their stolen crypto into unrecoverable funds.

據報導，上週，拉撒路集團將至少3億美元的被盜加密貨幣轉換為不可收復的資金。

Lazarus Group and other hacking groups are known to be running programs and services at the behest of the government, and are a major source of income for the regime. North Korea is currently under sanctions placed by the international community.

眾所周知，拉撒路集團和其他黑客團體將按照政府的要求運行計劃和服務，是該政權的主要收入來源。朝鮮目前正在國際社會制定下。

A portion of the profits from North Korea’s illegal activities are used to fund its ballistic missiles programs and nuclear tests.

朝鮮非法活動的一部分利潤用於資助其彈道導彈計劃和核試驗。

If confirmed, North Korea’s bitcoin reserve will be only behind US’ 198,109 BTC and the UK’s 61,245 BTC. It will be more than 10,635 BTC of Bhutan and El Salvador’s 6,117 BTC.

如果得到證實，朝鮮的比特幣儲備將僅在我們後面'198,109 BTC和英國的61,245 BTC。不丹和薩爾瓦多的6,117 BTC將超過10,635 BTC。

El Salvador government officially declared the use of bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, though it walked back the measure this year. Bhutan is actively engaging in bitcoin mining on a national level.

埃爾·薩爾瓦多政府在2021年正式宣布將比特幣用作法定貨幣，儘管今年取得了措施。不丹正在全國范圍內積極從事比特幣開採。
