Tether 執行長和 CoinGecko 營運長警告針對加密貨幣空間的網路釣魚攻擊

Tether 執行長 Paolo Ardoino 和 CoinGecko 聯合創辦人兼營運長 Bobby Ong 均對電子郵件供應商遭到入侵發出警告。

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino and CoinGecko co-founder and COO Bobby Ong have both issued warnings about a compromised email vendor.

Tether 執行長 Paolo Ardoino 和 CoinGecko 聯合創辦人兼營運長 Bobby Ong 均對電子郵件供應商遭到入侵發出警告。

“One email vendor that services multiple crypto companies has been compromised. Please be aware of phishing emails, especially those promoting airdrops or new token launches,” Ardoino Tweeted on Monday.

「一家為多家加密貨幣公司提供服務的電子郵件供應商已受到損害。請注意網路釣魚電子郵件，尤其是那些宣傳空投或新代幣發布的電子郵件，」Ardoino 週一在推特上寫道。

The identity of the vendor is yet to be disclosed as investigations are still ongoing. However, several digital asset service providers that utilize the vendor’s services have been notified and advised to warn their users.

由於調查仍在進行中，供應商的身份尚未透露。然而，一些使用該供應商服務的數位資產服務提供者已收到通知並建議向其用戶發出警告。

The vendor's services are used by several crypto companies, and users are being warned of phishing email scams that will likely promote fraudulent airdrop distributions or token launches.

該供應商的服務已被多家加密貨幣公司使用，用戶會收到網路釣魚電子郵件詐騙的警告，這些詐騙可能會促進欺詐性空投分發或代幣發行。

"Several crypto companies may be affected via email blasts of fake token launches. There is no CoinGecko token being planned so don’t be duped by the phishing emails,” Ong said in a Tweet on Monday.

「一些加密貨幣公司可能會受到虛假代幣發布的電子郵件爆炸的影響。CoinGecko 代幣沒有計劃中，所以不要被網路釣魚電子郵件所欺騙，」Ong 在周一的推文中表示。

The issue of phishing attacks targeting the crypto space is not new. In January, several company emails, including those of Cointelegraph, Trezor, Token Terminal, and WalletConnect, were hijacked. Last November, Nansen customers reported receiving phishing emails after a third-party vendor leak. Earlier this year, scammers hacked domain registrar Namecheap and targeted MetaMask users with malicious emails.

針對加密貨幣領域的網路釣魚攻擊問題並不新鮮。一月份，包括 Cointelegraph、Trezor、Token Terminal 和 WalletConnect 在內的多家公司電子郵件被劫持。去年 11 月，Nansen 客戶報告在第三方供應商洩密後收到了網路釣魚電子郵件。今年早些時候，詐騙者攻擊了網域註冊商 Namecheap，並向 MetaMask 用戶發送惡意電子郵件。

In May, a cryptocurrency trader lost $69 million in a sophisticated “address poisoning” scam. Scammers create fake accounts mimicking the victim’s online crypto address and send small amounts, hoping the victim accidentally sends money to the fake address later.

5 月份，一名加密貨幣交易員在一場複雜的「地址中毒」騙局中損失了 6,900 萬美元。詐騙者創建模仿受害者在線加密地址的虛假帳戶並發送少量資金，希望受害者稍後不小心將錢發送到該虛假地址。

Cryptocurrency-related scams, including “pig butchering” scams, are becoming increasingly prevalent and costly for investors. At the end of last year, United States authorities were able to recover about $500,000 worth of assets lost to pig butchering scams.

與加密貨幣相關的騙局，包括「殺豬」騙局，對於投資者來說變得越來越普遍且成本高昂。去年底，美國當局追回因生豬屠宰騙局損失的價值約 50 萬美元的資產。

In mid-March, Massachusetts prosecutors also took some steps to return $2.3 million worth of digital assets seized from fraudsters to pig-butchering scam victims.

3 月中旬，馬薩諸塞州檢察官還採取了一些措施，將從詐欺者手中扣押的價值 230 萬美元的數位資產返還給屠宰生豬詐騙受害者。

In an attempt to alleviate the issue, leading tech companies and crypto exchanges have recently formed the ‘Tech Against Scams’ alliance to combat the growing problem of online fraud and financial schemes, such as pig-butchering scams. The alliance aims to share expertise, raise awareness, and develop best practices to protect users from scammers who exploit new technologies like AI and cryptocurrencies.

為了緩解這個問題，領先的科技公司和加密貨幣交易所最近成立了「科技反詐騙」聯盟，以應對日益嚴重的網路詐欺和金融計畫問題，例如殺豬詐騙。該聯盟旨在分享專業知識、提高意識並製定最佳實踐，以保護用戶免受利用人工智慧和加密貨幣等新技術的詐騙者的侵害。
