A 26-year-old man from Alabama has been sentenced to more than a year in prison for his role in a social media hack that briefly sent the price of bitcoin soaring by $1,000.

一名來自阿拉巴馬州的26歲男子因在社交媒體黑客中的角色而被判處一年以上的徒刑，該黑客短暫地使比特幣的價格飆升了1,000美元。

Eric Council Jr., of Huntsville, pleaded guilty to charges tied to the January 2024 hack of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s X account, according to a U.S. Department of Justice press release.

根據美國司法部新聞稿的報導，亨茨維爾的埃里克議會小對與2024年1月的美國證券交易委員會X帳戶有關的指控表示認罪。

Posing as a telecom customer using a fraudulent ID, Council used a SIM-swap technique to hijack a phone number tied to the SEC’s account. His co-conspirators then used it to falsely post that the agency had approved spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a long-awaited regulatory milestone.

理事會使用欺詐ID冒充電信客戶，使用SIM-SWAP技術來劫持與SEC帳戶有關的電話號碼。然後，他的同謀者使用它來虛假髮布該機構批准了期待已久的監管里程碑的現場比特幣交易所交易資金（ETF）。

Within minutes, the price of bitcoin surged by more than $1,000. It crashed soon after, losing more than $2,000 in value once the post was revealed as fake. The SEC did later that month approve the launch of spot bitcoin ETFs.

幾分鐘之內，比特幣的價格上漲了1,000多美元。不久之後，它墜毀了，一旦該職位被揭露為假貨，就會損失超過2,000美元的價值。 SEC當月晚些時候確實批准了現場比特幣ETF的發布。

Authorities say Council was paid in bitcoin for his role. He will serve 14 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.

當局說，理事會因其角色而獲得比特幣。他將在監獄服刑14個月，然後進行三年監督釋放。

“Today’s sentence reflects the serious consequences of cybercrime and the importance of safeguarding our institutions from those who seek to disrupt them,” said Acting FBI Assistant Director Darren Cox. “The brazen takeover of a federal agency’s official communications platform was a calculated criminal act meant to deceive the public and manipulate financial markets. By spreading false information to influence the markets, Council attempted to erode public trust and exploit the financial system.”

代理聯邦調查局助理董事達倫·考克斯（Darren Cox）說：“今天的句子反映了網絡犯罪的嚴重後果以及保護我們的機構免受試圖破壞他們的人的重要性。” “對聯邦機構官方通信平台的大肆接管是一項旨在欺騙公眾並操縱金融市場的犯罪行為。通過傳播虛假信息以影響市場，市議會試圖侵蝕公共信任並利用金融體系。”
