美國司法部（DOJ）於5月16日宣布，阿拉巴馬州亨茨維爾的一名居民因參與針對證券交易委員會（SEC）社交媒體的網絡入侵而被判處一年以上的監禁。

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has sentenced a resident of Huntsville, Alabama, to over a year behind bars for his role in a cyber intrusion that targeted the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) social media presence and briefly sent crypto markets into overdrive.

As part of the sentence, U.S. District Judge R. David Proctor also ordered restitution to be paid to the victims of the cyber intrusion and access device fraud.

作為判決的一部分，美國地方法院法官R. David Proctor還下令向網絡入侵和訪問設備欺詐的受害者支付賠償金。

The case arose from a broader investigation by the FBI into a cybercrime group known for large-scale SIM-swapping operations and spearheading substantial financial fraud.

該案源於聯邦調查局（FBI）對一個以大規模的模擬運營行動而聞名的網絡犯罪集團的廣泛調查，並率先率領大量財務欺詐。

The DOJ said the actions by Council and his co-conspirators led to a momentary but significant spike in the price of bitcoin.

司法部說，理事會及其同謀的行動導致了比特幣價格的瞬間但重大的飆升。

The hackers exploited the SEC’s platform to spread false financial information, which had immediate consequences on the cryptocurrency market.

黑客利用了SEC的平台傳播虛假的財務信息，這對加密貨幣市場產生了直接的影響。

The DOJ noted that the price of bitcoin rose by more than $1,000 following the post, which was quickly deleted by X. However, the post’s impact on the crypto market was evident as the price of BTC decreased by more than $2,000 following the correction from the post’s influence.

司法部指出，該職位後，比特幣的價格上漲了1,000多美元，很快就被X刪除了。但是，由於BTC的價格從該職位的影響下，該帖子對加密貨幣市場的影響很明顯。

The actions by Council and his co-conspirators also had broader implications for the financial markets. The hackers' ability to impersonate the SEC and spread false information could have destabilized the market and eroded public trust in the financial system.

理事會及其同謀的行動對金融市場也具有更大的影響。黑客模擬SEC和傳播虛假信息的能力可能破壞了市場的穩定，並侵蝕了公眾對金融體系的信任。

The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of cybersecurity and the role that the DOJ plays in deterring and punishing cybercrime.

The SEC had no immediate comment on the case. However, the agency has previously warned investors about the dangers of cryptocurrency scams.

The agency also advised investors to be wary of any investment opportunities that seem too good to be true.

In January, the SEC approved the first spot bitcoin ETFs from several firms, including Invesco Inc, Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd and WisdomTree Inc. The approvals came after years of deliberation by the agency and anticipation from investors.

一月份，SEC批准了包括Invesco Inc，Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd和Wisdomtree Inc.在內的多家公司的第一名比特幣ETF。批准是在該機構多年審議的投資者和投資者的期望之後。

The agency's Division of Investment Management had proposed in 2021 to reject applications for bitcoin ETFs, but the full commission voted 3-2 to approve the products.
