新法规威胁着加密货币用户的个人数据的安全性

伦敦：新法规威胁着加密货币用户的个人数据的安全性，并可能使他们面临“身体危险”，这是上周巴黎绑架企图中心的平台。

New EU regulations threaten the security of the personal data of cryptocurrency users and may expose them to “physical danger”, the platform at the centre of last week’s Paris kidnapping attempt has claimed.

新的欧盟法规威胁着加密货币用户的个人数据的安全性，并可能使他们面临“身体危险”，这是上周巴黎绑架尝试的中心的平台。

“A ticking time bomb,” said Alexandre Stachtchenko, director of strategy at French platform Paymium, referring to the way information must now be collected during cryptocurrency transfers under EU rules.

法国平台Paymium战略总监Alexandre Stachtchenko说：“滴答了计时炸弹。”

He did not directly link this to a kidnapping attempt on Tuesday which, according to a police source, targeted the daughter and grandson of Paymium's chief executive.

他没有直接将其与周二的绑架尝试联系起来，据警方消息人士称，该企图针对Paymium首席执行官的女儿和孙子。

“If there is a leak of one of these databases from which I can find out who has money and where they live, then the next day it is on the dark web, and the day after there is someone outside your home,” Stachtchenko said.

Stachtchenko说：“如果其中一个数据库泄漏，我可以从中找出谁有钱和他们的住所，那么第二天它在黑暗的网上，以及您家外面有人在您家外面的第二天。”

Data theft is commonplace. On Thursday, the leading cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, Coinbase, said criminals had bribed and duped their way into stealing digital assets from its users, then tried to blackmail the exchange to keep the crime quiet.

数据盗窃很普遍。周四，美国领先的加密货币交易所Coinbase说，罪犯贿赂并欺骗了从用户那里窃取数字资产的方式，然后试图勒索交易所以保持犯罪的安静。

Instead of paying up, Coinbase informed US regulators about the theft and made plans to spend between $180 million and $400 million to reimburse victims and handle the situation.

Coinbase没有付款，而是向美国监管机构通报了有关盗窃案的信息，并计划花费1.8亿至4亿美元来报销受害者并处理这种情况。

Following the kidnapping attempt, Paymium issued a statement urging authorities to immediately reinforce the protection of companies within the sector, after other similar incidents this year.

绑架尝试后，Paymium发表了一份声明，敦促当局在今年其他类似的事件后立即加强该行业内部公司的保护。

Founded in 2011 and presenting itself as a European pioneer of bitcoin trading, Paymium also cited “the highly dangerous aspects of certain financial regulations, either recently adopted or in the making”.

Paymium成立于2011年，是比特币交易的欧洲先驱，还引用了“最近通过或制造的某些金融法规的高度危险方面”。

It added: “With the unprecedented organisation of massive and sometimes disproportionate collection of personal data, public authorities contribute to putting the physical safety of millions of cryptocurrency holders in France, and more widely in Europe, at risk.”

它补充说：“随着空前的大规模，有时甚至不成比例的个人数据收集的组织，公共当局促成了在法国将数百万加密货币持有人的物理安全性造成的，在欧洲更为广泛。”

In its sights are rules which came into force at the end of 2024 and which extended the Travel Rule in place for traditional finance transfers to include crypto assets.

在其视线中，规则在2024年底生效，并扩大了传统金融转让的旅行规则，以包括加密资产。

The rules now require platforms to gather details about the beneficiary and, in return, transmit certain information about the customer to the receiving institution, including their name and postal address.

现在，规则要求平台收集有关受益人的详细信息，作为回报，将有关客户的某些信息传输到接收机构，包括其姓名和邮政地址。

Also to be disclosed is the “address” of a customer’s cryptocurrency wallet, which shows details of their account and transactions, said Stachtchenko.

Stachtchenko说，还需要披露的是客户的加密货币钱包的“地址”，其中显示了其帐户和交易的详细信息。

Such sensitive data is sometimes exchanged and stored insecurely by certain players.

这种敏感的数据有时会被某些玩家交换和存储不安全。

Regulatory changes to tighten the rules on the crypto sector aim to “prevent the financial system from being used for corruption, money laundering, drug trafficking” among other criminal activities, said Sarah Compani, a lawyer specialising in digital assets.

专门从事数字资产的律师莎拉·康普利（Sarah Compani）说，监管更改以收紧加密货币部门的规则，旨在“防止金融体系用于腐败，洗钱，贩毒”。

Data collection is carried out by parties including banks, insurance companies and crypto-service providers, which are “supervised” and subject to heavy “security obligations, particularly IT and cybersecurity”, said William O’Rorke, a lawyer at cryptocurrency firm ORWL.

加密货币公司ORWL的律师威廉·奥罗克（William O'Rorke）说，数据收集是由银行，保险公司和加密服务提供商在内的各方进行的，这些提供商“受到监督”，遵守“安全义务，尤其是IT和网络安全”。

In 2027, European anti-money laundering regulations will restrict the use of wallets and cryptocurrencies that allow the holders to remain anonymous.

在2027年，欧洲反洗钱法规将限制使用钱包和加密货币的使用，使持有人能够保持匿名。

It follows a French law adopted last month to fight narcotrafficking, which targets anonymisation devices such as the cryptocurrency “mixers” used to render funds untraceable.

这是在上个月通过的一项法国法律来对抗麻醉品的法律，该法律针对匿名设备，例如用于使资金无法追踪的加密货币“混合器”等匿名设备。

There are many “legitimate interests” in having such tools however, said cybersecurity expert Renaud Lifchitz.

网络安全专家Renaud Lifchitz说，拥有此类工具有许多“合法利益”。

He noted that they are sometimes used by journalists, or by activists opposed to an authoritarian regime which controls the traditional banking system.

他指出，有时是记者或反对控制传统银行体系的独裁政权的激进主义者使用的。

The debate is more “political” than “security-related”, argued O’Rorke.

奥罗克认为，辩论比“与安全有关的”更“政治”。

The recent kidnappings and attempted kidnappings can be explained above all by a “somewhat nouveau riche” and “ill-prepared” cryptocurrency sector, he said.

他说，最近的绑架和未遂绑架可以通过“有些新的Riche”和“准备不足”的加密货币领域来解释。

Since 2014, software developer Jameson Lopp has recorded 219 physical attacks targeting cryptocurrency users.

自2014年以来，软件开发人员詹姆森·洛普（Jameson LOPP）已记录了针对加密货币用户的219次物理攻击。
