亨茨维尔的埃里克委员会（Eric Council Jr.

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.

一名来自阿拉巴马州的26岁男子因在社交媒体黑客中的角色而被判处一年以上的徒刑，该黑客短暂地使比特币的价格飙升了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.

根据美国司法部新闻稿的报道，亨茨维尔的埃里克议会小对与2024年1月的美国证券交易委员会X帐户有关的指控表示认罪。

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.

理事会使用欺诈ID冒充电信客户，使用SIM-SWAP技术来劫持与SEC帐户有关的电话号码。然后，他的同谋者使用它来虚假发布该机构批准了期待已久的监管里程碑的现场比特币交易所交易资金（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.

几分钟之内，比特币的价格上涨了1,000多美元。不久之后，它坠毁了，一旦该职位被揭露为假货，就会损失超过2,000美元的价值。 SEC当月晚些时候确实批准了现场比特币ETF的发布。

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

当局说，理事会因其角色而获得比特币。他将在监狱服刑14个月，然后进行三年监督释放。

“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.”

代理联邦调查局助理董事达伦·考克斯（Darren Cox）说：“今天的句子反映了网络犯罪的严重后果以及保护我们的机构免受试图破坏他们的人的重要性。” “对联邦机构官方通信平台的大肆接管是一项旨在欺骗公众并操纵金融市场的犯罪行为。通过传播虚假信息以影响市场，市议会试图侵蚀公共信任并利用金融体系。”
