联邦调查局指责与朝鲜与黑石公司从Bybit Exchange中窃取1.5B $ 1.5B的加密货币

罗马（美联社） - 联邦调查局（FBI）指控与北朝鲜有联系的黑客进行公开著名的加密货币盗窃罪之一，夺取了价值约15亿美元的以太坊

The FBI has accused North Korea-linked hackers of one of the largest thefts of cryptocurrency publicly known, seizing some $1.5 billion worth of ethereum from a Dubai-based firm.

联邦调查局（FBI）指控以朝鲜与朝鲜的黑石公司的公开盗窃罪之一，从一家总部位于迪拜的公司中夺取了价值约15亿美元的以太坊。

The theft earlier this month targeted Bybit, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, and comes as part of a broader hacking spree that has seen billions of dollars stolen in recent years.

本月初的盗窃针对世界上最大的加密货币交易所之一拜比特（Bybit），并且是近年来偷走了数十亿美元的广泛黑客狂潮的一部分。

The hackers are known by the names TraderTraitor and the Lazarus Group and steal cryptocurrency “through the dissemination of cryptocurrency trading applications that were modified to include malware that facilitates theft of cryptocurrency,” according to the FBI.

根据FBI的说法，黑客是由TraderTraitor和Lazarus Group的名字而闻名的，并通过传播加密货币交易应用程序窃取了加密货币。

The agency said it believed the North Korean-backed hackers were “responsible for the theft” of the ethereum from Bybit.

该机构表示，它认为北朝鲜支持的黑客对拜比特的以太坊“盗窃负责”。

“TraderTraitor actors are proceeding rapidly and have converted some of the stolen assets to Bitcoin and other virtual assets dispersed across thousands of addresses on multiple blockchains,” the FBI said in its announcement late Wednesday. “It is expected these assets will be further laundered and eventually converted to fiat currency.”

联邦调查局在周三下旬的公告中说：“交易者演员正在迅速进行，并将一些被盗资产转换为比特币和其他虚拟资产分散在数千个地址的多个区块链上。” “预计这些资产将被进一步洗钱，并最终转换为法定货币。”

North Korea's mission to the UN in Geneva did not immediately respond to a request for comment from AP.

朝鲜对日内瓦联合国的使命没有立即回应美联社的评论请求。

However, North Korea has stolen an estimated $1.2 billion in cryptocurrency and other virtual assets in the past five years, according to South Korea's spy agency. It represents a rare source of badly needed foreign currency to support its fragile economy and fund its nuclear program in the face of intense U.N. sanctions and North Korea's strict border closures during the coronavirus pandemic.

然而，根据韩国的间谍机构的数据，在过去的五年中，朝鲜估计有12亿美元的加密货币和其他虚拟资产。它代表了罕见的外币来源，以支持其脆弱的经济，并在面对联合国的强烈制裁和冠状动脉大流行期间朝鲜严格的边界关闭的情况下为其核计划提供资金。

A U.N. experts panel separately said it was investigating 58 suspected cyberattacks by North Korea between 2017 to 2023 that saw some $3 billion stolen to “reportedly help to fund the country's development of weapons of mass destruction.”

联合国专家小组分别表示，在2017年至2023年之间，正在调查朝鲜有58次涉嫌网络攻击，这使大约30亿美元被盗，以“据报道有助于资助该国开发大规模杀伤性武器”。

Bybit co-founder and CEO, Ben Zhou, acknowledged the FBI’s announcement in a post on the social platform X by linking to a website offering $140 million in bounties for tracking the stolen crypto and getting it frozen by other exchanges.

Bybit联合创始人兼首席执行官本·周（Ben Zhou）在社交平台X上的一篇文章中宣布了联邦调查局的公告，该帖子链接到一个网站，该网站提供了1.4亿美元的赏金，以跟踪被盗的加密货币并通过其他交易所冻结它。

Bybit has said an attacker manipulated a routine transfer of ethereum, one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, from a so-called “cold” or offline wallet.

拜比特说，一名攻击者操纵以太坊的常规转移，即最受欢迎的加密货币之一，是从所谓的“冷”或离线钱包中转移的。

“It was a highly sophisticated hack that targeted cold wallets via a blind signing type of exploit, whereby the attackers create a fake interface that deceives users, since it is a near identical copy of the trusted platform,” wrote Manuel Villegas, an analyst at Julius Baer.

Julius Baer的分析师Manuel Villegas写道：“这是一个高度复杂的黑客，通过盲目签名类型的漏洞来针对冷钱包，从而创建了一个欺骗用户的假界面，因为它是受信任平台的几乎相同的副本。”

The blockchain analytics firm Certik has described the theft as “the largest breach” in the history of blockchain transactions.

区块链分析公司Certik将盗窃描述为区块链交易史上“最大的违规”。

The theft has seen overall crypto prices drop in recent days as investors in part have been spooked by the hack despite the industry getting a boost from the election of U.S. President Donald Trump. Industry leader Bitcoin traded over $82,000 a coin on Thursday, down from high of over $100,000 a month ago.

盗窃案在最近几天的总体加密价格下跌，尽管该行业从美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的当选中得到了推动，但投资者被黑客吓了一跳。行业领导者比特币在周四的每枚硬币超过82,000美元，低于一个月前的100,000美元。

“The situation … is certainly painful for ByBit's customers and will likely raise additional regulatory scrutiny,” Villegas added.

Villegas补充说：“情况……对于Bybit的客户来说肯定是痛苦的，可能会引起额外的监管审查。”
