埃里克議會（Eric Council Jr）是去年1月對SEC X帳戶入侵的人，今天被判處14個月徒刑。

在2024年初，關於比特幣ETF批准的謠言變成了巨大的炒作波。因此，當理事會入侵SEC的X帳戶時

A U.S. District Judge has sentenced a New Jersey man to 14 months in prison for his role in hacking the Securities and Exchange Commission’s X account last January.

一名美國地方法院因去年1月在黑客攻擊美國證券交易委員會的X帳戶中的角色而判處新澤西男子判處14個月。

Eric Council Jr, 32, of Livingston, New Jersey, was also ordered to forfeit $50,000 and be subject to three years of supervised release.

新澤西州利文斯頓的32歲的埃里克委員會（Eric Council Jr）也被命令沒收50,000美元，並遭到三年監督釋放。

According to court documents, Council’s journey began when he was arrested by FBI agents in October 2024. Shortly after, prosecutors offered him a plea deal, which he accepted in February.

根據法庭文件，理事會的旅程始於他2024年10月被聯邦調查局特工逮捕。

At the time, he pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit aggravated identity theft.

當時，他對陰謀犯有嚴重的身份盜用的指控認罪。

The case arose from a series of identity theft scams that began in 2023. According to the US Attorney’s office, Council and his accomplices used SIM swap and other types of cybercrime to steal personal and financial data from individuals and institutions.

該案源於2023年始於2023年的一系列身份盜用騙局。根據美國檢察官辦公室，議會和他的同夥使用SIM交換和其他類型的網絡犯罪來從個人和機構那裡竊取個人和財務數據。

Earlier this year, rumors about a Bitcoin ETF approval were turning into a tremendous hype wave. So, when the SEC’s X account announced that the institution had approved the ETF, it caused market pandemonium.

今年早些時候，關於比特幣ETF批准的謠言變成了巨大的炒作波。因此，當SEC的X帳戶宣布該機構已批准ETF時，它引起了市場pandemenium。

Bitcoin rose more than $1,000 shortly afterwards, and the hunt for the hacker began.

之後不久，比特幣上漲了1,000多美元，對黑客的狩獵開始了。

Today, the story finally ended. The US Attorney’s office announced that Council had been sentenced for the infamous SEC hack.

今天，這個故事終於結束了。美國檢察官辦公室宣布，理事會被判處臭名昭著的SEC黑客刑罰。

As shared previously, the hacker used a SIM Swap to compromise a phone with access to the X account. He also continued using similar scams until the FBI identified him in August, leading to his October 2024 arrest.

如前所述，黑客使用SIM轉換來妥協使用X帳戶的手機。他還繼續使用類似的騙局，直到聯邦調查局在8月確定他，導致他2024年10月被捕。

“Schemes of this nature threaten the health and integrity of our market system. SIM swap schemes threaten the financial security of average citizens, financial institutions, and government agencies. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can’t be caught. You will be caught, prosecuted, and will pay the price,” claimed US Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.

“這種性質的計劃威脅到我們市場系統的健康和完整性。SIM交換計劃威脅著普通公民，金融機構和政府機構的財務安全。不要欺騙自己以為自己不能被抓住。

Interestingly, government prosecutors repeatedly alleged that Eric Council had several co-conspirators in committing the SEC hack. However, none of them have been named, arrested, or charged with anything yet.

有趣的是，政府檢察官一再聲稱埃里克議會在犯下SEC黑客攻擊方面有幾名同謀。但是，他們都沒有被命名，逮捕或指控任何東西。

The government offered Council a plea deal shortly after his arrest, on the condition that he name these individuals. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in February, presumably suggesting that he did indeed cooperate.

政府在被捕後不久就向理事會提供了一項認罪協議，條件是他命名這些人。他在2月對陰謀指控認罪，大概暗示他確實確實合作了。

It seems a little strange that there haven’t been any developments in this broader investigation over the last three months.

在過去三個月中，這項更廣泛的調查中沒有任何發展，這似乎有些奇怪。

Still, Council has personally faced justice for his role in the SEC hack. He was sentenced to forfeit $50,000 and spend 14 months in prison.

儘管如此，理事會還是親自面對了他在SEC Hack中的角色。他被判處沒收50,000美元，並被判處14個月的監禁。

After his release, he will be under police supervision for the next three years, ensuring that he does not access the dark web or commit identity fraud.

釋放後，他將在未來三年內受到警察監督，以確保他無法訪問黑暗的網絡或實施身份欺詐。
