原子钱包黑客通过受制裁的交易所 Garantex 洗钱窃取数百万美元

在加密钱包 Atomic Wallet 遭受 3500 万美元的攻击后，区块链安全公司 Elliptic 声称攻击者正在使用 OFAC 批准的交易所 Garantex 转移被盗资金。 Elliptic 认为朝鲜黑客组织 Lazarus 执行了此次黑客攻击。尽管因反洗钱措施不足和促进非法金融活动而受到 OFAC 制裁，但 Garantex 仍在运营。 Elliptic 报道称，尽管多家加密货币交易所已经冻结了与黑客攻击相关的地址，但一些资金已流入 Garantex。

Cybersecurity firm Elliptic has revealed that the perpetrators behind the recent $35 million hack of crypto wallet Atomic Wallet are laundering the stolen funds through Garantex, an exchange subject to sanctions by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

网络安全公司 Elliptic 透露，近期加密钱包 Atomic Wallet 遭受 3500 万美元黑客攻击的犯罪者正在通过 Garantex 洗钱，Garantex 是一家受到美国外国资产控制办公室 (OFAC) 制裁的交易所。

Elliptic's investigation suggests that the hack was perpetrated by the notorious North Korean hacking group Lazarus. Last year, OFAC designated Garantex as a target of sanctions, citing its weak anti-money laundering measures and facilitation of illicit financial activity. Despite the sanctions, Garantex remains operational.

Elliptic 的调查表明，此次黑客攻击是臭名昭著的朝鲜黑客组织 Lazarus 所为。去年，OFAC 将 Garantex 指定为制裁目标，理由是其反洗钱措施薄弱且为非法金融活动提供便利。尽管受到制裁，Garantex 仍在运营。

In a Tuesday tweet, Elliptic reported that while several crypto exchanges have frozen addresses linked to the Atomic Wallet hack, some funds have been transferred to Garantex. The laundered funds were initially traded via the on-chain trading platform 1inch, subsequently sent to Garantex, and ultimately converted into bitcoin (BTC). The BTC was then further laundered through Sinbad, a bitcoin mixer reportedly utilized by North Korean hacking groups.

Elliptic 在周二的推文中报道称，虽然几家加密货币交易所已经冻结了与 Atomic Wallet 黑客攻击相关的地址，但一些资金已转移到 Garantex。洗钱资金最初通过链上交易平台1inch进行交易，随后发送至Garantex，最终转换为比特币（BTC）。随后，比特币通过辛巴德（Sinbad）进一步洗钱，据报道，辛巴德是朝鲜黑客组织使用的比特币混合器。

On June 3, nearly $35 million worth of crypto assets, including BTC, ETH, USDT, DOGE, LTC, BNB, and MATIC, were stolen from Atomic Wallet. The company acknowledged that the incident affected "less than 1% of its monthly active users" and stated that investigations were underway as of June 8.

6月3日，Atomic钱包中价值近3500万美元的加密资产被盗，其中包括BTC、ETH、USDT、DOGE、LTC、BNB和MATIC。该公司承认，该事件影响了“不到 1% 的月度活跃用户”，并表示截至 6 月 8 日调查正在进行中。

The utilization of Garantex by the Atomic Wallet hackers raises concerns about the effectiveness of OFAC sanctions in deterring illicit activities in the crypto ecosystem. It also underscores the need for increased vigilance and cooperation among crypto exchanges and cybersecurity firms to combat cybercrimes and protect digital assets.

Atomic Wallet 黑客对 Garantex 的利用引发了人们对 OFAC 制裁在阻止加密生态系统中非法活动方面的有效性的担忧。它还强调加密货币交易所和网络安全公司之间需要提高警惕并加强合作，以打击网络犯罪和保护数字资产。
