區塊鏈分析公司指出朝鮮黑客涉嫌發動多次加密貨幣交易所盜竊案,平壤對此長期否認。
兩家大型區塊鏈分析公司表示,掌握充分的情報,顯示一個獲朝鮮政府支持的黑客組織,很可能是全球最大加密貨幣交易所幣安(Binance)遭黑客攻擊、損失63億美元(47億英鎊)事件的幕後黑手。
區塊鏈分析公司TRM Labs和Chainalysis均表示,有「高度信心」認為,這次攻擊是由朝鮮黑客組織「拉撒路集團」(Lazarus Group)發動。該組織又稱「TraderTraitor」。
這只是近期一系列被指與朝鮮有關的黑客攻擊事件中最新的一宗。朝鮮是全球最貧窮的國家之一,民眾上網受到嚴格限制。
專家指控,朝鮮領導人金正恩的政府依靠網絡犯罪活動獲取資金,但平壤長期否認有關指控。
朝鮮涉嫌發動的黑客攻擊中,最轟動的一宗並非為了金錢,而是2014年針對索尼影業(Sony Pictures)的網絡攻擊。該公司當時製作了荷里活電影《刺殺金正恩》(The Interview,又譯《名嘴出任務》或《採訪》),故事圍繞一宗暗殺金正恩的陰謀。
這次黑客攻擊導致索尼影業高層之間數以千計的電郵外洩,當中不少內容令公司尷尬。
美國聯邦調查局(FBI)去年表示,朝鮮須為加密貨幣交易所Bybit遭盜取15億美元的事件負責。
事發後,FBI表示,「TraderTraitor」迅速採取行動,清洗及分散被盜資產,將其轉換成比特幣和其他數字資產,目的是最終兌換成可實際使用的貨幣。
FBI亦曾廣泛指控朝鮮從事「非法網絡犯罪及虛擬資產盜竊活動」。
根據多份報告,朝鮮一直有系統地發展其網絡攻擊能力,從大學招募最有潛質的學生,安排他們加入由朝鮮情報機構監督的黑客組織。
科技公司的分析亦顯示,朝鮮部分網絡戰活動是在與其接壤的中國境內進行。
朝鮮的黑客活動大多以獲取金錢為目的。
朝鮮黑客亦被懷疑涉及2022年一宗價值6.2億美元的加密貨幣盜竊案。
在最新這宗案件中,朝鮮黑客被指利用一項特殊授權,改變幣安一個連接互聯網的「熱錢包」(hot wallet)的運作方式,使其自動將資金轉移給攻擊者。
TRM表示,攻擊者很可能在這次行動中取得了幣安熱錢包簽署系統的存取權限。
幣安未有直接回應BBC就事件可能與朝鮮有關而提出的查詢。
該公司最初表示,懷疑一名工程師的手提電腦遭入侵,讓黑客得以在未經授權下提取資產,但其後表示,攻擊涉及的範圍比最初所知的更廣。
幣安聯席行政總裁鄧偉政(Richard Teng)表示:「我們隨後的調查發現了其他遭入侵的環節。」
幣安一名發言人周五(10月30日)表示,約80%的被盜資產已得到保全,但其餘資產的去向仍然不明。
如果有關指控屬實,這宗創下紀錄的盜竊案顯示,涉嫌來自朝鮮的黑客已變得何等強大,也反映黑客使用的工具和技術日益精密。
