加密货币赌场 MetaWin 遭黑客攻击，400 万美元消失

MetaWin 是一个在线游戏平台，提供互动老虎机、二十一点、轮盘赌、扑克和百家乐等真人荷官桌面游戏、非同质代币 (NFT) 抽奖和抽奖以及各种即赢游戏。

An online casino that accepts cryptocurrency was hacked this week, the company’s CEO has admitted.

一家接受加密货币的在线赌场本周遭到黑客攻击，该公司首席执行官承认。

MetaWin offers interactive slots, live dealer table games including blackjack, roulette, poker, and baccarat, nonfungible token (NFT) raffles and drawings, and a variety of instant-win games.

MetaWin 提供互动老虎机、真人荷官桌面游戏（包括二十一点、轮盘赌、扑克和百家乐）、非同质代币 (NFT) 抽奖和抽奖，以及各种即赢游戏。

The MetaWin rewards program also qualifies players for daily and weekly “wagering races” where bettors are ranked based on the total number of real money bets they make. The races qualify players for a shot at winning a weekly top prize of $40K.

MetaWin 奖励计划还让玩家有资格参加每日和每周的“投注竞赛”，投注者根据他们进行的真钱投注总数进行排名。这些比赛使玩家有机会赢得每周 4 万美元的最高奖金。

The London-based online casino operates offshore through an internet gaming license issued from Anjouan, a small archipelagic country located off the southeastern coast of Africa. MetaWin isn’t licensed to take bets in any US state, though players who play the online casino have little chance of facing legal consequences.

这家总部位于伦敦的在线赌场通过昂儒昂岛（位于非洲东南海岸的一个小群岛国家）颁发的互联网博彩许可证在海外运营。 MetaWin 没有获得在美国任何州接受投注的许可，但玩在线赌场的玩家几乎没有机会面临法律后果。

State gaming regulators, however, continue to caution consumers about the risks of using an offshore casino. They say unlicensed gaming sites provide few to no consumer protections, including that their online funds are secure. That point was proven this week through the MetaWin hack.

然而，州博彩监管机构继续警告消费者使用离岸赌场的风险。他们表示，未经许可的游戏网站几乎没有提供消费者保护，包括他们的在线资金是安全的。本周 MetaWin 黑客事件证明了这一点。

$4M Stolen

400 万美元被盗

Richard Skelhorn, the founder and CEO of MetaWin, confirmed on November 3 that some MetaWin “hot wallets” were hacked. Skelhorn’s comments came after blockchain investigator ZachXBT shared on his Telegram channel about a successful exploit of MetaWin’s Ethereum and Solana hot wallets.

MetaWin创始人兼首席执行官Richard Skelhorn于11月3日证实，部分MetaWin“热钱包”遭到黑客攻击。 Skelhorn 发表评论之前，区块链调查员 ZachXBT 在他的 Telegram 频道上分享了 MetaWin 的以太坊和 Solana 热钱包的成功利用。

“Today, we experienced an attack where an exploiter was able to withdraw a significant amount from our hot wallets by taking advantage of our frictionless withdrawal system,” Skel wrote. “We’ll be implementing additional security controls for new users, while also exploring ways to maintain a flexible and seamless experience for our trusted community.”

“今天，我们经历了一次攻击，利用我们的无摩擦提款系统，攻击者能够从我们的热钱包中提取大量资金，”斯克尔写道。 “我们将为新用户实施额外的安全控制，同时探索为我们值得信赖的社区维持灵活、无缝体验的方法。”

Hot wallets are cryptocurrency wallets that are constantly connected to the internet. Hot wallets are used as temporary key storage and to send and receive cryptocurrency.

热钱包是持续连接到互联网的加密货币钱包。热钱包用作临时密钥存储以及发送和接收加密货币。

Cold wallets, or storages, that keep crypto offline in an offline private setting, are considered the safest method for securing digital currency. But hot wallets are needed to transact coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, and Solana.

冷钱包或存储可以使加密货币在离线私人环境中保持离线状态，被认为是保护数字货币安全的最安全方法。但需要热钱包来交易比特币、以太坊、Tether 和 Solana 等代币。

ZachXBT said the hackers managed to take off with $4 million in cryptocurrency, which was swiftly transferred to KuCoin and a HitBTC nested cold wallet. The online sleuth detected that more than 115 addresses were associated with the malicious actor.

ZachXBT 表示，黑客成功带走了 400 万美元的加密货币，这些加密货币很快被转移到 KuCoin 和 HitBTC 嵌套冷钱包中。在线侦探检测到超过 115 个地址与恶意行为者相关。

To his credit, Skel said he would singlehandedly cover the $4 million loss and had already begun “topping off” impacted customers.

值得赞扬的是，斯克尔表示，他将独自弥补 400 万美元的损失，并已经开始“补充”受影响的客户。

“In short, today we faced a challenge, but we’re learning from it and will emerge stronger,” Skel concluded.

“简而言之，今天我们面临着挑战，但我们正在从中吸取教训，并将变得更加强大，”斯克尔总结道。
