新頭殼newtalk |張柏源 綜合報導2022/10/8 Saturday A.M. 11:18The original article is here 全球最大加密貨幣交易所驚傳遭駭客攻擊損失約32億 根據法新社報導，世界最大的加密資產交易所幣安（Binance）7日傳出旗下BNB Chain跨鏈橋遭到駭客攻擊，執行長兼創辦人趙長鵬表示，詐欺人士從它的平台竊走了價值約1億美元的加密貨幣。他為此向投資人道歉並稱已追回部分資金。 趙長鵬在推特發文提到，由於系統中的安全漏洞遭到駭客利用攻擊，導致幣安專有的加密貨幣額外產出。他說：「目前所受影響估計約為1億美元。」並寫道：「這個問題目前已得到控制。你們的資金很安全。我們對於所造成的不便感到抱歉，並將繼續提供最新進一步消息。」 儘管與今年3月人氣區塊鏈遊戲Axie Infinity價值5億多美元的加密貨幣竊案相比，幣安這次事件不算什麼，但仍名列幣圈史上最大盜竊案之一。趙長鵬指出，這次竊賊利用跨鏈橋BSC Token Hub犯案，他向客戶保證這個漏洞已被修補。跨鏈橋是投資人將資產從一個區塊鏈轉移到另一個區塊鏈的工具。詐欺犯越來越常利用跨鏈橋的弱點來竊取加密資產。 幣安在社群媒體平台Reddit表示，遭竊金額在1億至1.1億美元之間，已追回700萬美元。Axie Infinity竊案以及9月加密貨幣公司Nomad被竊走近2億美元，也都與跨鏈橋漏洞有關。加密資產分析公司Chainalysis於8月指出，今年來跨鏈橋漏洞攻擊已造成約20億美元遭竊。 全球最大加密货币交易所惊传遭骇客攻击损失约32亿 根据法新社报导，世界最大的加密资产交易所币安（Binance）7日传出旗下BNB Chain跨链桥遭到骇客攻击，执行长兼创办人赵长鹏表示，诈欺人士从它的平台窃走了价值约1亿美元的加密货币。他为此向投资人道歉并称已追回部分资金。 赵长鹏在推特发文提到，由于系统中的安全漏洞遭到骇客利用攻击，导致币安专有的加密货币额外产出。他说：「目前所受影响估计约为1亿美元。」并写道：「这个问题目前已得到控制。你们的资金很安全。我们对于所造成的不便感到抱歉，并将继续提供最新进一步消息。」 尽管与今年3月人气区块链游戏Axie Infinity价值5亿多美元的加密货币窃案相比，币安这次事件是不算什么，但仍名列币圈史上最大盗窃案之一。赵长鹏指出，这次窃贼利用跨链桥BSC Token Hub犯案，他向客户保证这个漏洞已被修补。跨链桥是投资人将资产从一个区块链转移到另一个区块链的工具。诈欺犯越来越常利用跨链桥的弱点来窃取加密资产。 币安在社群媒体平台Reddit表示，遭窃金额在1亿至1.1亿美元之间，已追回700万美元。 Axie Infinity窃案以及9月加密货币公司Nomad被窃走近2亿美元，也都与跨链桥漏洞有关。加密资产分析公司Chainalysis于8月指出，今年来跨链桥漏洞攻击已造成约20亿美元遭窃。 Key Words
