Newtalk新聞 全球最大加密貨幣交易所幣安（Binance）上月30日遭駭客攻擊。據美國區塊鏈分析公司TRM Labs調查，駭客竊走價約63.6億美元（約新台幣2,074億元）的加密資產，創下史上最大加密貨幣竊盜紀錄。美國聯邦調查局（FBI）指認，幕後黑手為北韓相關駭客組織TraderTraitor。不過，北韓最高領導人金正恩胞妹金與正今（3）日出面駁斥，怒嗆美國主張荒誕無稽。 北韓官媒《朝中社》今刊登〈朝鮮勞動黨中央委員會副部長金與正發表談話〉。針對美國指控幣安遭竊幕後黑手，金與正怒嗆美國主張荒誕無稽，更稱每次國際發生各類所謂「網路犯罪」事件時，美國就不分青紅皂白地將其與被含掛鉤，企圖向國際社會散播對北韓的錯誤認知。 北韓最高領導人金正恩胞妹金與正。 圖 : 翻攝朝中社（資料照） 金與正指出，早在去年，美國就曾將加密貨幣交易所「Bybit」發生的駭客攻擊事件歸咎於北韓。而美國誤導國際輿論，將世界各地發生的網路詐騙行為全數渲染成北韓所為，顯然構成對北韓的嚴重政治挑釁，並損害北韓國際形象，貶低北韓的尊嚴與國威，是一項居心不良的企圖，更是延伸至新領域的另一項嚴重侵犯北韓主權行為。 她強調，北韓堅決反對在屬於全人類共同財富的網路空間中發生的一切惡意行為，並徹底排斥任何將網路問題政治化、藉此作為干涉他國內政工具的企圖，而這始終是平壤政府一貫的政策立場。延伸閱讀：9.5小時被提取近46.5億美元! 駭客盜取事件後 幣安掀「撤離潮」20分鐘盜逾60億美元加密貨幣! 北韓駭客疑感情詐騙滲透幣安工程師 川普這樣說....幣安遭駭後掀提款潮！不到10小時淨流出36.4億美元 趙長鵬急喊話民進黨推5大專業人士出戰鄉鎮市長 徐國勇：盼國人支持國軍半個月走3條命 藍黨團轟「官僚殺人」要顧立雄公開道歉

Newtalk新聞 多年來，北韓政府持續以國家級組織的規模支持網路駭客活動，對全球各國進行金融竊盜與情報刺探，近年也逐漸將目標轉向加密貨幣市場，相關問題也引發國際輿論的廣泛關注。近期又傳出消息稱，北韓駭客成功駭入加密貨幣交易所「幣安」( Binance )，盜取價值超過 60 億美元的虛擬貨幣，誇張的事件不只驚動了美國政府，也引發全球網友的熱烈討論。 X 推主「小龍先生」指出，在幣安虛擬貨幣資產遭到盜竊後，美國總統川普隨即透過社群媒體發布貼文，表達對相關事件的關注。川普表示，參與此次攻擊事件的駭客僅費時 20 分鐘，就從幣安捲走價值數十億美元的資產，強調此次的事件是一場極其複雜、多點滲透的「國家級行動」。川普也透露稱，策劃此次攻擊行動的組織很可能是北韓知名駭客集團「拉薩路集團」旗下的「交易叛徒」( TraderTraitor )。 「小龍先生」補充表示，事件發生後，美國聯邦調查局 ( FBI )、國稅局等政府單位紛紛採取行動，向全球加密貨幣交易所發出封鎖令，試圖「拔掉網路線」的方式切斷駭客集團「洗白」資產的途徑。「小龍先生」認為，全球各國的加密貨幣交易所可能為了防止被駭客用來洗錢，大幅提升審查門檻，進一步加劇「散戶」們可能面對的風險。 然而，X 推主「cryptocapo」稱，截至當地時間 1 日下午，駭客組織已將價值約 1 億美元的 SOL 幣兌換為比特幣，並將半數竊得的資金兌換為其他貨幣後完成轉移。「cryptocapo」也對駭客將資金轉換為比特幣的行為感到擔憂，認為相關舉措可能讓市場進入最高警戒的狀態。 在針對相關事件展開調查後， FBI 於 31 日發布報告，證實相關事件可能是去年在加密貨幣平台「Bybit」竊取 15 億美元資產的組織「TraderTraitor」所為，並對可能涉及相關事件的北韓駭客朴鎮赫發布全球通緝。 FBI …

Newtalk新聞 全球最大加密貨幣交易所幣安（Binance）10 月 29 日遭駭客入侵！價值約 63 億美元（約新台幣 2006 億元）的加密貨幣遭竊，創下加密貨幣史上最大竊案紀錄。美國聯邦調查局（FBI）證實，這起攻擊是由北韓政府支持的駭客組織「TraderTraitor」所發動。 《路透社》報導，幣安 31 日在社群平台 X 發文指出，公司已透過購買相同種類的加密貨幣，補回約九成遭竊資產。至於剩餘 10%，由於涉及市場流動性較低的代幣，短時間內難以大量購回，需更多時間處理。幣安共同執行長鄧偉政（Richard Teng）強調，公司將承擔此次資安事件造成的全部損失，避免用戶蒙受財務損害。 這起天價竊案發生在美東時間 29 日下午 4 時 20 分左右，當時幣安偵測到大量異常交易，發現公司錢包內的加密貨幣正快速流向外部帳戶，短短約半小時內竟有數十億美元資產被轉走。《美聯社》報導，FBI 於 31 日發布聲明，正式將攻擊歸咎於北韓支持的「TraderTraitor」組織。該組織去年也被指涉及加密貨幣交易所 Bybit 價值 15 億美元的竊案。FBI 指出，駭客正將此次竊取的資產主要轉換成以太幣（Ethereum），未來可能透過去中心化金融平台及快速兌幣服務進一步洗錢，以掩蓋資金流向。 《金融時報》報導，駭客疑似先控制幣安一名工程師的筆記型電腦，再利用取得的系統權限繞過安全機制，向公司錢包發出未經授權的轉帳指令。鄧偉政透露，調查人員還發現用來清除入侵痕跡的惡意軟體，且受駭範圍可能不只一處，整起攻擊的完整過程仍待釐清。 …
