Chainaanalysis 发布了 2024 年加密货币犯罪报告的第一部分

8 月 15 日，加密货币合规和研究公司 Chainaanalysis 发布了 2024 年加密货币犯罪报告的第一部分。

Crypto crime fell by 40% in 2023, reaching $20.1 billion — the lowest level since 2018, according to a new report by Chainalysis. However, two categories of illicit activity — stolen funds and ransomware — are on the rise. Stolen funds have nearly doubled from $857 million to $1.58 billion, while ransomware inflows have increased by about 2%, from $449.1 million to $459.8 million, it reported before adding that the amount is already 84% higher than the value stolen over the first half of 2023.

根据 Chainaanalysis 的一份新报告，2023 年加密货币犯罪下降了 40%，达到 201 亿美元，这是 2018 年以来的最低水平。然而，两类非法活动——被盗资金和勒索软件——正在增加。被盗资金几乎翻了一番，从 8.57 亿美元增至 15.8 亿美元，而勒索软件流入量增加了约 2%，从 4.491 亿美元增至 4.598 亿美元，该报告补充说，这一金额已经比上半年被盗金额高出 84%。 2023 年。

The firm's analysis of illicit cryptocurrency activity spans seven years and is based on data from cryptocurrency exchanges, blockchain analysis, and law enforcement. It defines crypto crime as the movement of funds to and from addresses controlled by illicit entities, including exchanges, darknet markets, ransomware attackers, and terrorist groups.

该公司对非法加密货币活动的分析跨越七年，基于加密货币交易所、区块链分析和执法的数据。它将加密货币犯罪定义为非法实体（包括交易所、暗网市场、勒索软件攻击者和恐怖组织）控制的地址之间的资金流动。

According to the report, the decline in crypto crime can be attributed to several factors, including the bear market, which has caused a decline in overall cryptocurrency activity, and increased efforts by law enforcement and regulators to crack down on crypto crime.

报告称，加密货币犯罪的下降可归因于多种因素，包括熊市导致加密货币整体活动下降，以及执法和监管机构加大力度打击加密犯罪。

The report also found that stolen funds and ransomware now account for a larger share of illicit cryptocurrency activity than ever before. In 2023, stolen funds and ransomware inflows accounted for 76% of all illicit activity, up from 64% in 2022.

该报告还发现，被盗资金和勒索软件现在在非法加密货币活动中所占的比例比以往任何时候都大。 2023 年，被盗资金和勒索软件流入占所有非法活动的 76%，高于 2022 年的 64%。

This increase is being driven by a rise in large-scale cryptocurrency thefts, such as the $380 million hack of the cryptocurrency exchange BitMart in December 2023. The stolen funds are typically laundered through a series of cryptocurrency transactions before being cashed out or used to purchase other illicit goods and services.

这一增长是由大规模加密货币盗窃事件的增加推动的，例如 2023 年 12 月加密货币交易所 BitMart 遭受了价值 3.8 亿美元的黑客攻击。被盗资金通常通过一系列加密货币交易进行洗钱，然后再兑现或用于购买其他非法商品和服务。

Meanwhile, ransomware attackers are increasingly targeting large organizations, such as hospitals and schools, which are more likely to pay the ransom demands. In 2023, ransomware attacks on large organizations generated an average of $6.3 million in illicit cryptocurrency inflows, compared to $1.2 million for attacks on smaller organizations.

与此同时，勒索软件攻击者越来越多地将目标瞄准医院和学校等大型组织，这些组织更有可能支付赎金要求。 2023 年，针对大型组织的勒索软件攻击平均产生 630 万美元的非法加密货币流入，而针对小型组织的勒索软件攻击平均产生 120 万美元。
