虫洞黑客可能在大规模抢劫之前声称获得了空投

Solana 的空投检查器表明，对 2022 年 3.2 亿美元的 Wormhole 桥攻击负责的黑客有资格从 Wormhole 获得 5 万美元的空投。研究人员表示，虫洞团队忽略了删除与该攻击相关的许多钱包地址。如果黑客领取了空投，他们将可以获得大约 31,642 个 Wormhole (W) 代币，或者按当前价值计算近 50,000 美元。

Wormhole Hacker May Have Claimed $50,000 Airdrop Prior to Epic Heist

虫洞黑客可能在史诗般的抢劫之前索取了 50,000 美元的空投

In a shocking revelation, it has emerged that the hacker who orchestrated the audacious $320 million Wormhole bridge exploit in 2022 may have previously received a $50,000 airdrop from the very protocol they later targeted.

令人震惊的消息是，在 2022 年精心策划了价值 3.2 亿美元的虫洞桥漏洞的黑客之前可能已经从他们后来瞄准的协议中获得了 5 万美元的空投。

According to a meticulous investigation conducted by anonymous researcher "Pland" and published on X, the Wormhole team inadvertently left multiple wallet addresses linked to the bridge hack unflagged and eligible for airdrops. Data from Airdrop.link, a Solana-based airdrop checker, indicates that four of these wallets briefly held the ability to claim Wormhole's airdropped W tokens.

根据匿名研究人员“Pland”进行并在 X 上发布的一项细致调查，Wormhole 团队无意中留下了多个与桥黑客攻击相关的钱包地址，这些地址没有被标记并有资格获得空投。来自基于 Solana 的空投检查器 Airdrop.link 的数据表明，其中四个钱包曾短暂拥有认领 Wormhole 空投 W 代币的能力。

Had the hacker chosen to withdraw their airdropped funds, they would have netted approximately 31,642 W tokens, equivalent to nearly $50,000 at current market prices. Cointelegraph's independent verification confirmed the eligibility of these wallet addresses before they were subsequently removed from the airdrop distribution, suggesting that the Wormhole team may have acted swiftly to patch the loophole.

如果黑客选择提取空投资金，他们将获得大约 31,642 个 W 代币，按当前市场价格相当于近 50,000 美元。 Cointelegraph 的独立验证确认了这些钱包地址的资格，然后将其从空投分配中删除，这表明 Wormhole 团队可能已迅速采取行动修补漏洞。

The revelation that the Wormhole hacker may have exploited the protocol after receiving a substantial airdrop has sparked a chorus of questions and concerns. Could the initial airdrop have inadvertently legitimized the hacker's presence within the Wormhole ecosystem, providing them with an insider's perspective that aided their later attack?

虫洞黑客可能在收到大量空投后利用该协议的消息引发了广泛的质疑和担忧。最初的空投是否会无意中使黑客在虫洞生态系统中的存在合法化，为他们提供了内部人士的视角，从而有助于他们后来的攻击？

In February 2023, a "counter exploit" was carried out against the Wormhole hacker by Jump Crypto and Oasis.app, resulting in the recovery of $225 million worth of digital assets. However, the broader implications of the hacker's prior receipt of an airdrop from the same protocol remain unclear.

2023 年 2 月，Jump Crypto 和 Oasis.app 对 Wormhole 黑客进行了“反攻击”，导致价值 2.25 亿美元的数字资产被追回。然而，黑客之前从同一协议收到空投的更广泛影响仍不清楚。

Wormhole's recent announcement that eligible users would receive a massive airdrop of 675 million W tokens, equivalent to around $850 million, has heightened the intrigue surrounding the hacker's motives. While the airdrop is intended to distribute tokens fairly to the broader community, the involvement of the hacker in the distribution process raises ethical concerns.

Wormhole 最近宣布，符合条件的用户将获得 6.75 亿个 W 代币的大规模空投，相当于约 8.5 亿美元，这加剧了人们对黑客动机的好奇。虽然空投的目的是向更广泛的社区公平地分配代币，但黑客参与分配过程引发了道德问题。

Cointelegraph's attempts to contact Wormhole for comment were unsuccessful at the time of publication. The Solana block explorer, Solana.fm, confirms that the four eligible wallet addresses linked to the Wormhole hack have since been removed from the airdrop distribution.

截至发稿时，Cointelegraph 试图联系 Wormhole 征求意见，但未成功。 Solana 区块浏览器 Solana.fm 确认，与虫洞黑客攻击相关的四个符合条件的钱包地址已从空投分配中删除。

The incident underscores the persistent challenges faced by the cryptocurrency industry in combating malicious actors and protecting user funds. As protocols continue to evolve and airdrops become increasingly common, robust security measures and proactive vigilance are paramount to safeguarding the integrity of the ecosystem. Ongoing investigations into the Wormhole hack are expected to shed further light on the hacker's tactics and the lessons that can be learned to prevent similar breaches in the future.

该事件凸显了加密货币行业在打击恶意行为者和保护用户资金方面面临的持续挑战。随着协议的不断发展和空投变得越来越普遍，强大的安全措施和主动的警惕对于维护生态系统的完整性至关重要。对虫洞黑客攻击的持续调查预计将进一步揭示黑客的策略以及可以吸取的教训，以防止未来发生类似的违规行为。
