蟲洞駭客可能在大規模搶劫之前聲稱獲得了空投

Solana 的空投檢查器表明，對 2022 年 3.2 億美元的 Wormhole 橋攻擊負責的駭客有資格從 Wormhole 獲得 5 萬美元的空投。研究人員表示，蟲洞團隊忽略了刪除與該攻擊相關的許多錢包位址。如果駭客領取了空投，他們將可以獲得大約 31,642 個 Wormhole (W) 代幣，或以當前價值計算近 50,000 美元。

Wormhole Hacker May Have Claimed $50,000 Airdrop Prior to Epic Heist

蟲洞黑客可能在史詩般的搶劫之前索取了 50,000 美元的空投

In a shocking revelation, it has emerged that the hacker who orchestrated the audacious $320 million Wormhole bridge exploit in 2022 may have previously received a $50,000 airdrop from the very protocol they later targeted.

令人震驚的消息是，在 2022 年精心策劃了價值 3.2 億美元的蟲洞橋漏洞的駭客之前可能已經從他們後來瞄準的協議中獲得了 5 萬美元的空投。

According to a meticulous investigation conducted by anonymous researcher "Pland" and published on X, the Wormhole team inadvertently left multiple wallet addresses linked to the bridge hack unflagged and eligible for airdrops. Data from Airdrop.link, a Solana-based airdrop checker, indicates that four of these wallets briefly held the ability to claim Wormhole's airdropped W tokens.

根據匿名研究人員「Pland」進行並在 X 上發布的一項細緻調查，Wormhole 團隊無意中留下了多個與橋黑客攻擊相關的錢包地址，這些地址沒有被標記並有資格獲得空投。來自基於 Solana 的空投檢查器 Airdrop.link 的數據表明，其中四個錢包曾短暫擁有認領 Wormhole 空投 W 代幣的能力。

Had the hacker chosen to withdraw their airdropped funds, they would have netted approximately 31,642 W tokens, equivalent to nearly $50,000 at current market prices. Cointelegraph's independent verification confirmed the eligibility of these wallet addresses before they were subsequently removed from the airdrop distribution, suggesting that the Wormhole team may have acted swiftly to patch the loophole.

如果駭客選擇提取空投資金，他們將獲得約 31,642 個 W 代幣，以當前市場價格相當於近 50,000 美元。 Cointelegraph 的獨立驗證確認了這些錢包地址的資格，然後將其從空投分配中刪除，這表明 Wormhole 團隊可能已迅速採取行動修補漏洞。

The revelation that the Wormhole hacker may have exploited the protocol after receiving a substantial airdrop has sparked a chorus of questions and concerns. Could the initial airdrop have inadvertently legitimized the hacker's presence within the Wormhole ecosystem, providing them with an insider's perspective that aided their later attack?

蟲洞駭客可能在收到大量空投後利用協議的消息引發了廣泛的質疑和擔憂。最初的空投是否會無意中使駭客在蟲洞生態系統中的存在合法化，為他們提供了內部人士的視角，從而有助於他們後來的攻擊？

In February 2023, a "counter exploit" was carried out against the Wormhole hacker by Jump Crypto and Oasis.app, resulting in the recovery of $225 million worth of digital assets. However, the broader implications of the hacker's prior receipt of an airdrop from the same protocol remain unclear.

2023 年 2 月，Jump Crypto 和 Oasis.app 對 Wormhole 駭客進行了“反攻擊”，導致價值 2.25 億美元的數位資產被追回。然而，駭客先前從同一協議收到空投的更廣泛影響仍不清楚。

Wormhole's recent announcement that eligible users would receive a massive airdrop of 675 million W tokens, equivalent to around $850 million, has heightened the intrigue surrounding the hacker's motives. While the airdrop is intended to distribute tokens fairly to the broader community, the involvement of the hacker in the distribution process raises ethical concerns.

Wormhole 最近宣布，符合條件的用戶將獲得 6.75 億個 W 代幣的大規模空投，相當於約 8.5 億美元，這加劇了人們對駭客動機的好奇。雖然空投的目的是向更廣泛的社區公平地分配代幣，但駭客參與分配過程引發了道德問題。

Cointelegraph's attempts to contact Wormhole for comment were unsuccessful at the time of publication. The Solana block explorer, Solana.fm, confirms that the four eligible wallet addresses linked to the Wormhole hack have since been removed from the airdrop distribution.

截至發稿時，Cointelegraph 試圖聯繫 Wormhole 徵求意見，但未成功。 Solana 區塊瀏覽器 Solana.fm 確認，與蟲洞駭客攻擊相關的四個符合條件的錢包位址已從空投分配中刪除。

The incident underscores the persistent challenges faced by the cryptocurrency industry in combating malicious actors and protecting user funds. As protocols continue to evolve and airdrops become increasingly common, robust security measures and proactive vigilance are paramount to safeguarding the integrity of the ecosystem. Ongoing investigations into the Wormhole hack are expected to shed further light on the hacker's tactics and the lessons that can be learned to prevent similar breaches in the future.

這起事件凸顯了加密貨幣產業在打擊惡意行為者和保護用戶資金方面面臨的持續挑戰。隨著協議的不斷發展和空投變得越來越普遍，強大的安全措施和主動的警惕對於維護生態系統的完整性至關重要。對蟲洞駭客攻擊的持續調查預計將進一步揭示駭客的策略以及可以學習的教訓，以防止未來發生類似的違規行為。
