报告安全漏洞后，Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) 损失 9.5%，团队回应颇具争议

人工智能 (AI) 加密货币热潮最近推动该行业的市值突破 100 亿美元，但现在却遭遇了动荡。

Artificial intelligence (AI) crypto had a recent market cap surge, pushing the sector past the $10 billion mark. However, this promising landscape was met with turbulence as a top-performing token, Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), encountered a reported security vulnerability and subsequent controversy.

人工智能 (AI) 加密货币最近市值飙升，推动该行业突破 100 亿美元大关。然而，这一充满希望的前景却遭遇了动荡，因为表现最好的代币虚拟协议（VIRTUAL）遇到了报道的安全漏洞和随后的争议。

As per jinu (@lj1nu), a blockchain security researcher, the vulnerability in Virtuals Protocol’s code was revealed on January 2 via X. After attempting private disclosures on the project’s Discord server, which were allegedly ignored, jinu proceeded to report the issue publicly.

据区块链安全研究人员 jinu (@lj1nu) 称，Virtuals Protocol 代码中的漏洞于 1 月 2 日通过 X 被披露。在尝试在该项目的 Discord 服务器上进行私人披露（据称被忽略）后，jinu 继续公开报告该问题。

The vulnerability, which was also confirmed by another expert, 33Audits (@solidityauditor), enabled attackers to predict and create a Uniswap V2 token pair before Virtuals could. This flaw had the potential to delay token launches and disrupt the platform’s operation.

该漏洞也得到了另一位专家 33Audits (@solidityauditor) 的证实，它使攻击者能够在 Virtuals 之前预测并创建 Uniswap V2 代币对。该缺陷有可能延迟代币发行并扰乱平台的运营。

Following jinu’s public disclosure, the Virtuals team quickly patched the issue and deployed a new smart contract. However, their handling of the initial report drew attention and sparked a sell-off in VIRTUAL tokens.

在 jinu 公开披露后，Virtuals 团队迅速修复了该问题并部署了新的智能合约。然而，他们对初始报告的处理引起了人们的关注，并引发了 VIRTUAL 代币的抛售。

According to Coinmarketcap data, VIRTUAL's price dropped by 9.5% within a single day, plummeting from $4.73 to a 24-hour low of $4.10 before recovering slightly to $4.25 at press time.

根据 Coinmarketcap 数据，VIRTUAL 价格单日下跌 9.5%，从 4.73 美元暴跌至 24 小时低点 4.10 美元，截至发稿时小幅回升至 4.25 美元。

Despite recent weekly gains of 30%, the security scare introduced fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) among investors, impacting the token’s price movements.

尽管最近每周上涨 30%，但安全恐慌给投资者带来了恐惧、不确定性和怀疑 (FUD)，影响了代币的价格走势。

This incident occurred during a period of significant market activity for the AI crypto sector. Among the leaders in this niche is Virtuals Protocol, which now faces the challenge of rebuilding trust while attempting to capitalize on the growing trend.

该事件发生在人工智能加密货币行业市场活跃时期。 Virtuals Protocol 是这一领域的领导者之一，该公司现在面临着重建信任的挑战，同时试图利用这一不断增长的趋势。

The handling of the vulnerability report by the Virtuals team has been met with criticism from security experts. Jinu expressed surprise over a project of Virtuals’ scale appearing indifferent to security issues.

Virtuals团队对漏洞报告的处理遭到了安全专家的批评。 Jinu 对 Virtuals 规模的项目似乎对安全问题漠不关心表示惊讶。

Moreover, 33Audits and others revealed that they had tried to report the same flaw earlier but were banned from the team’s official Discord and Telegram servers.

此外，33Audits 和其他人透露，他们早些时候曾试图报告相同的缺陷，但被团队的官方 Discord 和 Telegram 服务器禁止。

Such actions, while rare in the open-source blockchain community, have far-reaching consequences. “I’m surprised that a project as big and hot as @virtuals_io doesn’t care about security,” added jinu.

此类行为虽然在开源区块链社区中很少见，但具有深远的影响。 “我很惊讶像@virtuals_io 这样大而热门的项目竟然不关心安全性，”jinu 补充道。

This incident highlights the importance of prioritizing user safety and managing community interactions, both of which can significantly influence investor confidence.

这一事件凸显了优先考虑用户安全和管理社区互动的重要性，这两者都可以显着影响投资者的信心。
