黑客将目标从智能合约转向软密钥：Bittensor，一个 1.6B 美元的人工智能项目，在钱包遭到黑客攻击后停止了网络

本周，加密货币世界再次遭受打击，著名的人工智能项目 Bittensor 在发生一系列钱包黑客攻击后被迫停止其网络。

Cryptocurrency project Bittensor was forced to halt its network on July 3rd after a series of wallet hacks. Investigators suspect a private key leak may be to blame.

在发生一系列钱包黑客事件后，加密货币项目 Bittensor 于 7 月 3 日被迫停止其网络。调查人员怀疑私钥泄露可能是罪魁祸首。

According to a social media post by Bittensor co-founder Ala Shaabana, the network shutdown was implemented after attackers managed to siphon off at least $8 million worth of TAO, the native token of the Bittensor blockchain. This incident marks the second time in a month that a large sum of money has been stolen from Bittensor wallets, with another wallet hemorrhage in June resulting in a loss of $11 million.

根据 Bittensor 联合创始人 Ala Shaabana 在社交媒体上发布的帖子，攻击者成功窃取了价值至少 800 万美元的 TAO（Bittensor 区块链的原生代币）后，网络关闭。此次事件标志着 Bittensor 钱包一个月内第二次发生大笔资金被盗事件，6 月份又发生过一次钱包出血事件，造成 1100 万美元损失。

The BitTensor team is currently investigating the incident and considering all possibilities. They have also put the chain into “safe mode” to contain the potential exploit.

BitTensor 团队目前正在调查该事件并考虑所有可能性。他们还将该链置于“安全模式”以遏制潜在的漏洞利用。

Before the network shutdown, the alarm was first raised by ZachXBT, a pseudonymous on-chain investigator who boasts an impressive track record in uncovering crypto shenanigans. Through his Telegram channel, ZachXBT flagged the suspicious activity, which ultimately led to the network halt.

在网络关闭之前，ZachXBT 首先发出警报，他是一位化名的链上调查员，在揭露加密货币恶作剧方面拥有令人印象深刻的记录。 ZachXBT 通过他的 Telegram 频道标记了可疑活动，最终导致网络停止。

This news comes as blockchain security experts, such as ZachXBT, have noted a shift in tactics employed by hackers in the crypto realm. While initially targeting vulnerabilities within smart contracts – self-executing code on blockchains – the focus now appears to be shifting.

这一消息发布之际，ZachXBT 等区块链安全专家注意到加密领域黑客所采用的策略发生了转变。虽然最初针对的是智能合约中的漏洞（区块链上的自动执行代码），但现在焦点似乎正在转移。

According to the “2024 Crypto HackHub Report” by Merkle Science, a crypto risk intelligence platform, private key leaks surpassed smart contract exploits as the leading cause of stolen digital assets in 2023. Over 55% of hacked funds were lost due to compromised private keys, highlighting a change in strategy by hackers.

根据加密风险情报平台 Merkle Science 发布的《2024 Crypto HackHub 报告》，私钥泄露超过智能合约漏洞，成为 2023 年数字资产被盗的主要原因。超过 55% 的被黑资金因私钥泄露而损失，强调了黑客策略的改变。

Bittensor, boasting a market capitalization of $1.6 billion, is one of the largest blockchain projects centered around artificial intelligence. It aims to create a decentralized network where machine learning models from various owners can collaborate and share resources. This ambitious vision hinges on a secure and trustworthy platform.

Bittensor 市值达 16 亿美元，是最大的以人工智能为核心的区块链项目之一。它的目标是创建一个去中心化的网络，来自不同所有者的机器学习模型可以在其中协作和共享资源。这一雄心勃勃的愿景取决于一个安全且值得信赖的平台。

However, the recent security breaches have tarnished Bittensor's reputation, impacting investor confidence. Following the attack, TAO token prices experienced a 14% drop. While some recovery occurred after Bittensor announced mitigation measures, regaining user trust will be a gradual process.

然而，最近发生的安全漏洞损害了 Bittensor 的声誉，影响了投资者的信心。攻击发生后，TAO 代币价格下跌 14%。虽然 Bittensor 宣布缓解措施后出现了一些恢复，但重新获得用户信任将是一个渐进的过程。
