WazirX 黑客攻击：受影响的投资者有哪些选择？

为了了解 WazirX 黑客攻击的影响，让我们深入了解一些有关加密货币、交易所和钱包的基础知识，以及受影响的投资者可以选择的选项。

Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are a monetary asset that can be sent over the wire without relying on a single trusted intermediary. They are stored in crypto wallets, which contain private keys that can access your cryptocurrency on the blockchain database.

像比特币这样的加密货币是一种货币资产，可以通过网络发送，而不依赖于单一的可信中介。它们存储在加密钱包中，其中包含可以访问区块链数据库上的加密货币的私钥。

Hackers can gain access to your cryptocurrency by stealing your private keys or by attacking the centralized exchanges where your crypto is stored.

黑客可以通过窃取您的私钥或攻击存储您的加密货币的集中式交易所来访问您的加密货币。

Throughout the history of crypto, hackers have attacked crypto exchanges, such as Mt.Gox, Bitfinex, and Binance. These hacks have resulted in billions of dollars in losses for customers and have highlighted the importance of robust security measures and crisis management strategies.

纵观加密货币的历史，黑客攻击过加密货币交易所，例如 Mt.Gox、Bitfinex 和 Binance。这些黑客攻击给客户造成了数十亿美元的损失，并凸显了强有力的安全措施和危机管理策略的重要性。

Now, let’s apply this knowledge to the recent hack of the Indian crypto exchange, WazirX.

现在，让我们将这些知识应用到印度加密货币交易所 WazirX 最近遭受的黑客攻击中。

WazirX has been hacked and customer funds have been lost. What are the options for customers now?

WazirX 遭到黑客攻击，客户资金丢失。现在客户有哪些选择？

They can either go through judicial proceedings, which could take years (as happened with Mt.Gox), or they can use the Bitfiniex strategy of socializing losses, where they trade 55% of their funds and hope to recover their money over time.

他们要么走司法程序，这可能需要数年时间（就像 Mt.Gox 发生的那样），要么他们可以使用 Bitfiniex 的社会化损失策略，他们交易 55% 的资金，并希望随着时间的推移收回资金。

It will be interesting to see how the regulators and the government of India investigate this issue. So far, there’s been almost complete silence from their end.

看看印度监管机构和政府如何调查这个问题将会很有趣。到目前为止，他们的结局几乎是一片寂静。

WazirX’s founders have announced that they are trying to work with their trading partners, investors, investigators, and other exchanges to keep its exchange open and recover the stolen assets.

WazirX 的创始人宣布，他们正在努力与贸易伙伴、投资者、调查人员和其他交易所合作，以保持交易所开放并追回被盗资产。

They have also conducted a poll among its customers, giving them two options: access 55% of the funds without withdrawals and be first in line for recovery proceeds, or get 55% of the funds with withdrawal but be second in line in case of recovery of funds.

他们还在客户中进行了一项民意调查，给他们两种选择：无需提款即可获得 55% 的资金，并在第一时间获得追回收益；或者在提款后获得 55% 的资金，但在追回时排名第二的资金。

This plan has been met with criticism from many customers and industry colleagues from rival crypto exchanges. We will have to see how this unravels.

该计划遭到了来自竞争对手加密货币交易所的许多客户和行业同事的批评。我们必须看看这将如何解决。

One thing is clear: Unless you take measures to protect the cryptocurrencies you own, there’s always a chance you could lose them to a hacker.

有一点是明确的：除非您采取措施保护您拥有的加密货币，否则您总是有可能将它们丢失给黑客。
