埃里克议会（Eric Council Jr）是去年1月对SEC X帐户入侵的人，今天被判处14个月徒刑。

在2024年初，关于比特币ETF批准的谣言变成了巨大的炒作波。因此，当理事会入侵SEC的X帐户时

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.

一名美国地方法院因去年1月在黑客攻击美国证券交易委员会的X帐户中的角色而判处新泽西男子判处14个月。

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

新泽西州利文斯顿的32岁的埃里克委员会（Eric Council Jr）也被命令没收50,000美元，并遭到三年监督释放。

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.

根据法庭文件，理事会的旅程始于他2024年10月被联邦调查局特工逮捕。

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

当时，他对阴谋犯有严重的身份盗用的指控认罪。

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.

该案源于2023年始于2023年的一系列身份盗用骗局。根据美国检察官办公室，议会和他的同伙使用SIM交换和其他类型的网络犯罪来从个人和机构那里窃取个人和财务数据。

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.

今年早些时候，关于比特币ETF批准的谣言变成了巨大的炒作波。因此，当SEC的X帐户宣布该机构已批准ETF时，它引起了市场pandemenium。

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

之后不久，比特币上涨了1,000多美元，对黑客的狩猎开始了。

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

今天，这个故事终于结束了。美国检察官办公室宣布，理事会被判处臭名昭著的SEC黑客刑罚。

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转换来妥协使用X帐户的手机。他还继续使用类似的骗局，直到联邦调查局在8月确定他，导致他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.

“这种性质的计划威胁到我们市场系统的健康和完整性。SIM交换计划威胁着普通公民，金融机构和政府机构的财务安全。不要欺骗自己以为自己不能被抓住。

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，政府检察官一再声称埃里克议会在犯下SEC黑客攻击方面有几名同谋。但是，他们都没有被命名，逮捕或指控任何东西。

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.

政府在被捕后不久就向理事会提供了一项认罪协议，条件是他命名这些人。他在2月对阴谋指控认罪，大概暗示他确实确实合作了。

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

在过去三个月中，这项更广泛的调查中没有任何发展，这似乎有些奇怪。

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.

尽管如此，理事会还是亲自面对了他在SEC Hack中的角色。他被判处没收50,000美元，并被判处14个月的监禁。

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.

释放后，他将在未来三年内受到警察监督，以确保他无法访问黑暗的网络或实施身份欺诈。
