Chainaanalysis：2024 年前 7 個月加密貨幣駭客攻擊幾乎翻了一番，達到 16 億美元

儘管被盜資金的價值激增，但今年迄今的駭客攻擊數量僅小幅上升至 149 起，而 2023 年同期為 145 起

The value of cryptocurrency hacks has surged to $1.6 billion in the first seven months of 2024, almost double the amount stolen during the same period last year, according to a report by blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis.

根據區塊鏈分析公司 Chainaanalysis 的報告，2024 年前 7 個月，加密貨幣駭客攻擊的價值飆升至 16 億美元，幾乎是去年同期被盜金額的兩倍。

The increase in stolen funds is largely attributed to a rise in digital-asset prices, which have soared to record highs this year. However, the number of hacks has risen only marginally, with 149 reported so far in 2024 compared to 145 in the corresponding period of 2023.

被盜資金的增加很大程度上歸因於數位資產價格的上漲，數位資產價格今年已飆升至歷史新高。然而，駭客攻擊數量僅略有上升，2024 年迄今報告的駭客攻擊數量為 149 起，而 2023 年同期為 145 起。

“Many crypto asset prices have increased significantly in 2024 and a large part of the growth in value stolen is likely due to that price appreciation,” Eric Jardine, cybercrimes research lead at Chainalysis, told Bloomberg News in an email.

Chainaanalysis 網路犯罪研究主管 Eric Jardine 在一封電子郵件中告訴彭博新聞社：“許多加密資產價格在 2024 年大幅上漲，被盜價值的增長很大一部分可能是由於價格上漲所致。”

Bitcoin, which rose to a record of nearly $74,000 in March, has been a primary target for hackers. The cryptocurrency accounted for 40% of the proceeds from crypto heists this year, according to Chainalysis.

比特幣在 3 月升至近 74,000 美元的歷史新高，一直是駭客的主要目標。根據 Chainaanalysis 的數據，今年加密貨幣竊盜案的收益中，加密貨幣佔了 40%。

The debut of a crop of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the U.S. in January helped propel the digital asset to new heights. Bitcoin is still up 38% this year, despite a recent choppy period that erased some of the gains.

一月份，一批現貨比特幣交易所交易基金在美國首次亮相，幫助將數位資產推向了新的高度。儘管最近一段時期的波動抹去了部分漲幅，但比特幣今年仍上漲了 38%。

In 2022, a record $3.7 billion of crypto was stolen as hackers exploited weak security, particularly at decentralized finance (DeFi) outfits.

2022 年，由於駭客利用安全薄弱的漏洞，尤其是去中心化金融 (DeFi) 機構，加密貨幣被盜的金額達到了創紀錄的 37 億美元。

However, that number fell to $1.7 billion in 2023 as DeFi exchanges shored up security and token prices had yet to fully recover from a slump.

然而，由於 DeFi 交易所支撐了安全性，而代幣價格尚未從低迷中完全恢復，這一數字在 2023 年降至 17 億美元。

This year, several of the more eye-grabbing exploits have occurred in the Asia-Pacific region.

今年，亞太地區發生了幾起更引人注目的攻擊事件。

Japanese operator DMM Bitcoin lost $301 million in what was described as “an unauthorized leak,” while India's WazirX had $235 million drained, both in recent months. Both companies operate crypto exchanges in their respective markets.

日本營運商 DMM Bitcoin 在所謂的「未經授權的洩密」中損失了 3.01 億美元，而印度的 WazirX 則在最近幾個月損失了 2.35 億美元。兩家公司在各自的市場經營加密貨幣交易所。

“Crypto thieves seem to be returning to their roots and targeting centralized exchanges again after four years focused on their decentralized counterparts, which typically do not trade Bitcoin,” Chainalysis said in the report.

Chainaanalysis 在報告中表示：“四年來，加密貨幣竊賊一直專注於去中心化交易所，而這些交易所通常不交易比特幣，但加密貨幣竊賊似乎又回到了根源，再次瞄準中心化交易所。”

The report also highlights the increasing involvement of North Korean-linked groups in crypto heists, using sophisticated social engineering tactics to break into digital-asset platforms.

報告也強調，與北韓有關的團體越來越多地參與加密貨幣搶劫，利用複雜的社會工程策略闖入數位資產平台。

U.S. law enforcement authorities have previously linked North Korea to large-scale thefts of cryptocurrencies.

美國執法當局先前曾將北韓與大規模加密貨幣竊盜案聯繫起來。
