在報告安全漏洞後，Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) 損失 9.5%，團隊回應頗具爭議

人工智慧 (AI) 加密貨幣熱潮最近推動該產業的市值突破 100 億美元，但現在卻遭遇了動盪。

Artificial intelligence (AI) crypto had a recent market cap surge, pushing the sector past the $10 billion mark. However, this promising landscape was met with turbulence as a top-performing token, Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), encountered a reported security vulnerability and subsequent controversy.

人工智慧 (AI) 加密貨幣最近市值飆升，推動該產業突破 100 億美元大關。然而，這一充滿希望的前景卻遭遇了動盪，因為表現最好的代幣虛擬協議（VIRTUAL）遇到了報告的安全漏洞和隨後的爭議。

As per jinu (@lj1nu), a blockchain security researcher, the vulnerability in Virtuals Protocol’s code was revealed on January 2 via X. After attempting private disclosures on the project’s Discord server, which were allegedly ignored, jinu proceeded to report the issue publicly.

據區塊鏈安全研究人員jinu (@lj1nu) 稱，Virtuals Protocol 程式碼中的漏洞於1 月2 日透過X 被披露。 jinu 繼續公開報告該問題。

The vulnerability, which was also confirmed by another expert, 33Audits (@solidityauditor), enabled attackers to predict and create a Uniswap V2 token pair before Virtuals could. This flaw had the potential to delay token launches and disrupt the platform’s operation.

該漏洞也得到了另一位專家 33Audits (@solidityauditor) 的證實，它使攻擊者能夠在 Virtuals 之前預測並創建 Uniswap V2 代幣對。該缺陷有可能延遲代幣發行並擾亂平台的運作。

Following jinu’s public disclosure, the Virtuals team quickly patched the issue and deployed a new smart contract. However, their handling of the initial report drew attention and sparked a sell-off in VIRTUAL tokens.

在 jinu 公開披露後，Virtuals 團隊迅速修復了該問題並部署了新的智能合約。然而，他們對初始報告的處理引起了人們的關注，並引發了 VIRTUAL 代幣的拋售。

According to Coinmarketcap data, VIRTUAL's price dropped by 9.5% within a single day, plummeting from $4.73 to a 24-hour low of $4.10 before recovering slightly to $4.25 at press time.

根據 Coinmarketcap 數據，VIRTUAL 價格單日下跌 9.5%，從 4.73 美元暴跌至 24 小時低點 4.10 美元，截至發稿時小幅回升至 4.25 美元。

Despite recent weekly gains of 30%, the security scare introduced fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) among investors, impacting the token’s price movements.

儘管最近每週上漲 30%，但安全恐慌給投資者帶來了恐懼、不確定性和懷疑 (FUD)，影響了代幣的價格走勢。

This incident occurred during a period of significant market activity for the AI crypto sector. Among the leaders in this niche is Virtuals Protocol, which now faces the challenge of rebuilding trust while attempting to capitalize on the growing trend.

該事件發生在人工智慧加密貨幣產業市場活躍時期。 Virtuals Protocol 是這一領域的領導者之一，該公司現在面臨重建信任的挑戰，同時試圖利用這一不斷增長的趨勢。

The handling of the vulnerability report by the Virtuals team has been met with criticism from security experts. Jinu expressed surprise over a project of Virtuals’ scale appearing indifferent to security issues.

Virtuals團隊對漏洞報告的處理遭到了安全專家的批評。 Jinu 對 Virtuals 規模的項目似乎對安全問題漠不關心表示驚訝。

Moreover, 33Audits and others revealed that they had tried to report the same flaw earlier but were banned from the team’s official Discord and Telegram servers.

此外，33Audits 和其他人透露，他們早些時候曾試圖報告相同的缺陷，但被團隊的官方 Discord 和 Telegram 伺服器禁止。

Such actions, while rare in the open-source blockchain community, have far-reaching consequences. “I’m surprised that a project as big and hot as @virtuals_io doesn’t care about security,” added jinu.

此類行為雖然在開源區塊鏈社群中很少見，但具有深遠的影響。 「我很驚訝像@virtuals_io 這樣大而熱門的項目竟然不關心安全性，」jinu 補充道。

This incident highlights the importance of prioritizing user safety and managing community interactions, both of which can significantly influence investor confidence.

這事件凸顯了優先考慮用戶安全和管理社群互動的重要性，這兩者都會顯著影響投資者的信心。
