創紀錄的11億英鎊加密貨幣搶劫行業

加密貨幣交易所BYBIT報導說，黑客已經偷走了15億美元（11億英鎊）的數字資產，這可能標誌著加密貨幣史上最大的盜竊。

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has reported that hackers have stolen $1.5 billion (£1.1 billion) in digital assets, potentially marking the largest theft in the history of cryptocurrency.

加密貨幣交易所BYBIT報導說，黑客已經偷走了15億美元（11億英鎊）的數字資產，這可能標誌著加密貨幣史上最大的盜竊。

The breach, which was discovered on Friday, involved the theft from Bybit's digital wallet for Ethereum, which is the second most valuable cryptocurrency after Bitcoin.

違規行為於週五發現，涉及拜比特（Bybit）的以太坊數字錢包盜竊，這是僅次於比特幣的第二個最有價值的加密貨幣。

Bybit founder Ben Zhou stated that the stolen funds could be reimbursed either through the company's resources or via a loan from its partners. The firm currently manages assets totaling $20 billion (£15 billion).

Bybit創始人Ben Zhou表示，可以通過公司的資源或通過其合作夥伴的貸款來償還被盜的資金。該公司目前管理總計200億美元（150億英鎊）的資產。

“Bybit is solvent even if this hack loss is not recovered, all of clients assets are 1 to 1 backed, we can cover the loss,” Mr Zhou added.

周先生補充說：“即使沒有收回這種黑客損失，所有客戶資產都是1到1個支持的，我們也可以承擔損失。”

The company announced in a statement on Friday that it had notified the authorities regarding the incident and was working “swiftly and thoroughly” to track down the hackers.

該公司在周五的一份聲明中宣布，已通知當局有關該事件的事件，並“迅速而徹底地”工作以追踪黑客。

The incident caused the price of Ethereum to experience a decline of approximately 4% on Friday, bringing its value down to $2,641.41 (£2,090) per coin.

該事件導致以太坊的價格在周五下降了約4％，其價值降至每枚硬幣的2,641.41美元（2,090英鎊）。

This theft surpasses the previous record for cryptocurrency theft, which was a $620 million (£490 million) heist involving Ethereum and USD Coin from the Ronin Network in 2022.

此盜竊案超過了加密貨幣盜竊的先前記錄，該記錄是2022年涉及以太坊和美元硬幣的6.2億美元（4.9億英鎊）的搶劫案。

Founded in 2018, Bybit has reportedly attracted early investments from notable figures, including former US President Donald Trump and ex-PayPal CEO Peter Thiel.

據報導，拜比特（Bybit）成立於2018年，吸引了著名人物的早期投資，包括前美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）和前帕爾帕爾（Per）首席執行官彼得·蒂爾（Peter Thiel）。

The exchange claims to have over 60 million users globally and provides access to a wide range of cryptocurrencies.

該Exchange聲稱在全球擁有超過6000萬用戶，並提供了廣泛的加密貨幣。

“We have fully compensated the affected clients from the company’s own balance sheet. Together with our partners, we have the capacity to fully cover any client losses,” a Bybit spokesperson said.

“我們已經從公司自己的資產負債表中完全補償了受影響的客戶。與我們的合作夥伴一起，我們有能力充分承擔任何客戶損失。”

The company, which is registered in the British Virgin Islands and operates out of Singapore, stated that it had identified the vulnerability exploited by the hackers and had taken steps to rectify the issue.

該公司在英屬維爾京群島註冊並在新加坡開展業務，他說，它已經確定了黑客所剝削的脆弱性，並採取了措施糾正該問題。

Cryptocurrencies have gained traction among investors, yet they have also generated controversy, as many argue that their value is solely speculative, making them susceptible to manipulation.

加密貨幣在投資者中引起了人們的關注，但他們也引起了爭議，許多人認為它們的價值完全是投機性的，使他們容易受到操縱的影響。

Recently, Donald Trump faced criticism for introducing his own digital currency while admitting that he "doesn't know much" about cryptocurrencies.

最近，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）因介紹自己的數字貨幣而面臨批評，同時承認他對加密貨幣“不了解”。

The digital coin, named TRUMP, surfaced on his social media platforms prior to his inauguration and rapidly became one of the most valuable cryptocurrencies, although it has since experienced a significant decline in value.

名叫特朗普的數字硬幣在就職之前就浮出水面，並迅速成為最有價值的加密貨幣之一，儘管它的價值顯著下降。

This situation underscores the security issues prevalent in the digital currency market, which was seeking to regain trust following Mr. Trump's coin launch. His advisor, Elon Musk, a multi-billionaire and owner of Tesla, has previously expressed support for Bitcoin.

這種情況強調了數字貨幣市場中普遍存在的安全問題，在特朗普先生的硬幣發射之後，它試圖重新獲得信任。他的顧問埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）是特斯拉（Tesla）的數十億人，特斯拉（Tesla）的所有者，此前曾表示對比特幣的支持。

In 2014, the cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox declared bankruptcy after $350 million (£210 million) worth of digital assets were stolen due to a security loophole.

2014年，由於安全漏洞，加密貨幣交易所山Gox山宣布破產，價值3.5億美元（2.1億英鎊）的數字資產被盜。

In 2019, hackers executed another significant cryptocurrency theft, stealing $41 million worth of Bitcoin from the Binance exchange.

2019年，黑客犯下了另一個重大的加密貨幣盜竊案，從Binance Exchange中竊取了價值4100萬美元的比特幣。

This massive theft highlights the ongoing security vulnerabilities in the cryptocurrency market, raising concerns about the safety of digital assets. While Bybit has reassured users that their funds are secure, the scale of the breach underscores the need for stronger protections and regulatory oversight.

這種大規模的盜竊突出了加密貨幣市場中持續的安全漏洞，引起了人們對數字資產安全性的擔憂。儘管Bybit向用戶保證了他們的資金安全，但違規的規模強調了對更強大的保護和監管監督的需求。

The incident also impacts investor confidence, especially as cryptocurrencies strive for mainstream legitimacy. With past hacks still fresh in memory, the industry must prioritize security innovations to prevent future breaches. As authorities investigate, users and exchanges alike must remain vigilant, as cybercriminals continue to exploit weaknesses in this rapidly evolving financial landscape.

該事件還影響了投資者的信心，尤其是因為加密貨幣努力爭取主流合法性。由於過去的黑客仍然新鮮的記憶，該行業必須優先考慮安全創新，以防止未來的違規行為。噹噹局調查時，隨著網絡犯罪分子繼續利用這種迅速發展的金融環境中的弱點，用戶和交流都必須保持警惕。
