黑客从美国政府钱包中盗走 2000 万美元，归还大部分被盗资金

区块链分析公司 Arkham Intelligence 证实，一名黑客涉嫌入侵美国政府钱包。他耗尽了近 2000 万美元的加密资产，并已归还大部分被盗资金。

A hacker has allegedly breached U.S. government wallets, draining nearly $20 million in crypto assets and returning most of the stolen funds, blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence has confirmed.

区块链分析公司 Arkham Intelligence 证实，一名黑客据称侵入了美国政府钱包，盗走了近 2000 万美元的加密资产，并归还了大部分被盗资金。

The stolen money, which was from the Bitfinex hack of 2016, was reportedly retrieved within a day of the attack. According to Arkham Intelligence, around $19.3 million or 88% of the funds were returned to the original government-controlled wallet. This raised a concern over the reasons for such quick action.

据报道，被盗资金来自 2016 年 Bitfinex 黑客攻击，并在攻击发生后一天内被追回。据 Arkham Intelligence 称，大约 1930 万美元（即 88% 的资金）被退回到原来政府控制的钱包中。这引起了人们对如此迅速行动的原因的担忧。

On 24th October, Arkham Intelligence noticed the activities of the crypto wallets that are connected with the United States government. They revealed a $20 million transfer to the addresses of the mixer service.

10 月 24 日，Arkham Intelligence 注意到与美国政府有关的加密钱包的活动。他们透露了 2000 万美元的转账到了混合服务的地址。

These addresses contained funds obtained from cybercriminals including Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan in the Bitfinex hack.

这些地址包含从 Bitfinex 黑客攻击中的网络犯罪分子（包括 Ilya Lichtenstein 和 Heather Morgan）获得的资金。

As per on-chain data, the hacker moved a large number of ETH, USDC, and aUSDC from the government’s wallet at first. However, Arkham has established that the hacker sent most funds back to the U.S. government wallet with the address starting from “0xc9E” by October 25.

根据链上数据，黑客首先从政府钱包中转移了大量的 ETH、USDC 和 aUSDC。然而，Arkham 已确定，黑客在 10 月 25 日之前将大部分资金退回美国政府钱包，地址从“0xc9E”开始。

Altogether, the crypto hacker cashed out about 2,412 ETH, 7,200 USDC, and $13.2 million in aUSDC. According to blockchain analyst ZachXBT, the majority of the funds were recovered. Around $700,000 were still missing as these were sent through instant exchanges making it difficult to track them.

加密货币黑客总共兑现了约 2,412 ETH、7,200 USDC 和 1,320 万美元的 aUSDC。据区块链分析师 ZachXBT 称，大部分资金已被追回。大约 70 万美元仍然下落不明，因为这些资金是通过即时交易所发送的，因此很难追踪。

The breach has raised concerns regarding the security protocols of wallets managed by the U.S. government. Although the government quickly regained most of the stolen funds, the crypto hack left many on-chain analysts questioning the safeguards in place for crypto assets.

此次泄露引发了人们对美国政府管理的钱包安全协议的担忧。尽管政府很快收回了大部分被盗资金，但加密货币黑客攻击让许多链上分析师对加密资产的保护措施提出质疑。

Notably, on-chain detective Ergo BTC pointed out possible inconsistencies in the wallet’s security structure. He suggested that vulnerabilities could exist in the way these assets are stored and managed.

值得注意的是，链上侦探 Ergo BTC 指出了钱包安全结构中可能存在的不一致之处。他认为这些资产的存储和管理方式可能存在漏洞。

The speed of the recovery adds another layer of mystery. The hacker returned most of the funds voluntarily and almost immediately. Analysts and the public alike have speculated about the hacker’s motives.

恢复速度又增添了一层神秘色彩。黑客几乎立即自愿返还了大部分资金。分析人士和公众都对黑客的动机进行了猜测。

Some suggest that fear of U.S. law enforcement or a sense of ethical responsibility may have played a role. The exact details of the breach remain undisclosed, and the identity of the crypto hacker is still unknown.

一些人认为，对美国执法部门的恐惧或道德责任感可能起了一定作用。此次泄露的具体细节尚未披露，加密货币黑客的身份仍然未知。

Following the return of funds, the U.S. government took swift action to secure the Bitfinex wallet assets in a new wallet address.

资金返还后，美国政府迅速采取行动，将 Bitfinex 钱包资产存放在新的钱包地址中。

Arkham Intelligence confirmed that the assets were transferred to a new wallet under the address “0x0CaB63E3e978D1f66c19C480c206b01fB62F1243” in an attempt to prevent further unauthorized access.

Arkham Intelligence 证实，这些资产已转移到地址为“0x0CaB63E3e978D1f66c19C480c206b01fB62F1243”的新钱包，以防止进一步未经授权的访问。

This move underscores the need for heightened security measures in managing seized digital assets, especially as high-profile cases of crypto-related hacks continue to emerge.

此举强调了在管理被扣押的数字资产方面加强安全措施的必要性，特别是在与加密相关的黑客攻击案件不断出现的情况下。

Security experts have called for improved custodial practices for government-controlled digital assets, highlighting that traditional asset management strategies may not be adequate for securing crypto holdings.

安全专家呼吁改进政府控制的数字资产的托管做法，并强调传统的资产管理策略可能不足以保护加密资产的安全。

With cyber threats evolving and advanced hacking techniques being employed, state agencies managing crypto should prioritize state-of-the-art security solutions in light of incidents such as the SEC’s social media breach earlier this year.

随着网络威胁的不断发展和先进黑客技术的采用，管理加密货币的国家机构应根据今年早些时候 SEC 社交媒体泄露等事件优先考虑最先进的安全解决方案。

The Bitfinex wallet breach is just one of the many crypto exploits reported in 2024. According to security firm CertiK, crypto losses due to hacks and fraud increased by 9.5% in the third quarter alone, totaling over $750 million.

Bitfinex 钱包泄露事件只是 2024 年报告的众多加密货币漏洞之一。根据安全公司 CertiK 的数据，仅第三季度因黑客和欺诈造成的加密货币损失就增加了 9.5%，总计超过 7.5 亿美元。
