加密货币交易所BYBIT报道说，黑客已经偷走了15亿美元（11亿英镑）的数字资产，这可能标志着加密货币史上最大的盗窃。

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has reported that hackers have stolen $1.5 billion (£1.1 billion) in digital assets, potentially marking the largest theft in the history of cryptocurrency.

加密货币交易所BYBIT报道说，黑客已经偷走了15亿美元（11亿英镑）的数字资产，这可能标志着加密货币史上最大的盗窃。

The breach, which was discovered on Friday, involved the theft from Bybit's digital wallet for Ethereum, which is the second most valuable cryptocurrency after Bitcoin.

违规行为于周五发现，涉及拜比特（Bybit）的以太坊数字钱包盗窃，这是仅次于比特币的第二个最有价值的加密货币。

Bybit founder Ben Zhou stated that the stolen funds could be reimbursed either through the company's resources or via a loan from its partners. The firm currently manages assets totaling $20 billion (£15 billion).

Bybit创始人Ben Zhou表示，可以通过公司的资源或通过其合作伙伴的贷款来偿还被盗的资金。该公司目前管理总计200亿美元（150亿英镑）的资产。

“Bybit is solvent even if this hack loss is not recovered, all of clients assets are 1 to 1 backed, we can cover the loss,” Mr Zhou added.

周先生补充说：“即使没有收回这种黑客损失，所有客户资产都是1到1个支持的，我们也可以承担损失。”

The company announced in a statement on Friday that it had notified the authorities regarding the incident and was working “swiftly and thoroughly” to track down the hackers.

该公司在周五的一份声明中宣布，已通知当局有关该事件的事件，并“迅速而彻底地”工作以追踪黑客。

The incident caused the price of Ethereum to experience a decline of approximately 4% on Friday, bringing its value down to $2,641.41 (£2,090) per coin.

该事件导致以太坊的价格在周五下降了约4％，其价值降至每枚硬币的2,641.41美元（2,090英镑）。

This theft surpasses the previous record for cryptocurrency theft, which was a $620 million (£490 million) heist involving Ethereum and USD Coin from the Ronin Network in 2022.

此盗窃案超过了加密货币盗窃的先前记录，该记录是2022年涉及以太坊和美元硬币的6.2亿美元（4.9亿英镑）的抢劫案。

Founded in 2018, Bybit has reportedly attracted early investments from notable figures, including former US President Donald Trump and ex-PayPal CEO Peter Thiel.

据报道，拜比特（Bybit）成立于2018年，吸引了著名人物的早期投资，包括前美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）和前帕尔帕尔（Per）首席执行官彼得·蒂尔（Peter Thiel）。

The exchange claims to have over 60 million users globally and provides access to a wide range of cryptocurrencies.

该Exchange声称在全球拥有超过6000万用户，并提供了广泛的加密货币。

“We have fully compensated the affected clients from the company’s own balance sheet. Together with our partners, we have the capacity to fully cover any client losses,” a Bybit spokesperson said.

“我们已经从公司自己的资产负债表中完全补偿了受影响的客户。与我们的合作伙伴一起，我们有能力充分承担任何客户损失。”

The company, which is registered in the British Virgin Islands and operates out of Singapore, stated that it had identified the vulnerability exploited by the hackers and had taken steps to rectify the issue.

该公司在英属维尔京群岛注册并在新加坡开展业务，他说，它已经确定了黑客所剥削的脆弱性，并采取了措施纠正该问题。

Cryptocurrencies have gained traction among investors, yet they have also generated controversy, as many argue that their value is solely speculative, making them susceptible to manipulation.

加密货币在投资者中引起了人们的关注，但他们也引起了争议，许多人认为它们的价值完全是投机性的，使他们容易受到操纵的影响。

Recently, Donald Trump faced criticism for introducing his own digital currency while admitting that he "doesn't know much" about cryptocurrencies.

最近，唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）因介绍自己的数字货币而面临批评，同时承认他对加密货币“不了解”。

The digital coin, named TRUMP, surfaced on his social media platforms prior to his inauguration and rapidly became one of the most valuable cryptocurrencies, although it has since experienced a significant decline in value.

名叫特朗普的数字硬币在就职之前就浮出水面，并迅速成为最有价值的加密货币之一，尽管它的价值显着下降。

This situation underscores the security issues prevalent in the digital currency market, which was seeking to regain trust following Mr. Trump's coin launch. His advisor, Elon Musk, a multi-billionaire and owner of Tesla, has previously expressed support for Bitcoin.

这种情况强调了数字货币市场中普遍存在的安全问题，在特朗普先生的硬币发射之后，它试图重新获得信任。他的顾问埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）是特斯拉（Tesla）的数十亿人，特斯拉（Tesla）的所有者，此前曾表示对比特币的支持。

In 2014, the cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox declared bankruptcy after $350 million (£210 million) worth of digital assets were stolen due to a security loophole.

2014年，由于安全漏洞，加密货币交易所山Gox山宣布破产，价值3.5亿美元（2.1亿英镑）的数字资产被盗。

In 2019, hackers executed another significant cryptocurrency theft, stealing $41 million worth of Bitcoin from the Binance exchange.

2019年，黑客犯下了另一个重大的加密货币盗窃，从Binance Exchange窃取了价值4100万美元的比特币。

This massive theft highlights the ongoing security vulnerabilities in the cryptocurrency market, raising concerns about the safety of digital assets. While Bybit has reassured users that their funds are secure, the scale of the breach underscores the need for stronger protections and regulatory oversight.

这种大规模的盗窃突出了加密货币市场中持续的安全漏洞，引起了人们对数字资产安全性的担忧。尽管Bybit向用户保证了他们的资金安全，但违规的规模强调了对更强大的保护和监管监督的需求。

The incident also impacts investor confidence, especially as cryptocurrencies strive for mainstream legitimacy. With past hacks still fresh in memory, the industry must prioritize security innovations to prevent future breaches. As authorities investigate, users and exchanges alike must remain vigilant, as cybercriminals continue to exploit weaknesses in this rapidly evolving financial landscape.

该事件还影响了投资者的信心，尤其是因为加密货币努力争取主流合法性。由于过去的黑客仍然新鲜的记忆，该行业必须优先考虑安全创新，以防止未来的违规行为。当当局调查时，随着网络犯罪分子继续利用这种迅速发展的金融环境中的弱点，用户和交流都必须保持警惕。
