暗号資産窃取の「精鋭」 バイナンス攻撃の北朝鮮ハッカー―被害拡大、日本企業も標的

FBIはTTの犯行と断定、DMMビットコインやバイビットの流出事件も同集団によるものとされる

Quick Look

バイナンスで約63億ドル(約1兆円)相当の暗号資産が流出し、FBIは北朝鮮のハッカー集団「トレーダートレーター(TT)」の犯行と断定した。TTはラザルスの一部で、DMMビットコインやバイビットの流出事件にも関与し、北朝鮮の核資金源となっている。専門家は複数署名の必須化などの対策を求めている。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

北朝鮮のハッカー集団TTは、軍偵察情報総局の下部組織「ラザルス」の一部で、2016~17年に編成された。24年1月~25年9月に約25億8000万ドル相当の暗号資産を奪い、同時期に北朝鮮が盗んだ暗号資産の約9割を占めた。国連安保理制裁により外貨獲得手段が限られる北朝鮮にとって重要な資金源とされる。

暗号資産(仮想通貨)交換事業の世界最大手バイナンスで発生した過去最大規模の資産流出事件は、北朝鮮のハッカー集団「トレーダートレーター(TT)」の関与が強く疑われる。暗号資産窃取を専門とする「精鋭チーム」で、過去には日本の事業者も標的となった。国連安全保障理事会の制裁により外貨獲得手段が限られる北朝鮮にとって重要な資金源とされ、被害規模は拡大している。

暗号資産奪取、核資金源の「稼げるツール」 対策にハードル、制裁難航―北朝鮮

▽わずか20分の犯行

バイナンスは10月末、サイバー攻撃で約63億ドル(約1兆円)相当の暗号資産が流出したと発表。米連邦捜査局(FBI)はTTの犯行と断定した。米ブロックチェーン分析会社TRMラボによれば、犯行にかかった時間はわずか「20分」。その手際の良さが目立つ。

TTは、北朝鮮の対外工作を担う軍偵察情報総局の下部組織「ラザルス」の一部。安保理制裁の履行状況を監視する「多国間制裁監視チーム」の報告書によると、2016~17年に編成された。24年1月~25年9月には、約25億8000万ドル(現在のレートで約4000億円)相当の暗号資産を奪い、同時期に北朝鮮が盗んだ暗号資産の約9割を占めた。

▽巧みな「成り済まし」

TTが得意とするのは、企業の採用担当者や幹部を巧妙に装い、暗号資産関連会社の関係者にマルウェア(悪意あるプログラム)を仕込んだファイルを送り付ける手口だ。

24年に暗号資産交換業者のDMMビットコイン(東京)から約482億円相当が流出した事件では、ビジネス向けSNS「リンクトイン」で採用担当者に成り済まし、DMMから暗号資産の出入金管理を受託していた会社の従業員に接触。送付したURL経由でコンピューターをウイルスに感染させ、従業員の認証情報を入手した上で管理システムに侵入し、資産を盗んだとされる。

FBIは25年、中東ドバイが拠点の暗号資産交換業「バイビット」で起きた約15億ドル(約2400億円)相当の流出事件もTTによるものと断定。当時としては史上最大の被害額とされた。

▽複数署名の必須化を

サイバー攻撃に詳しい駿河台大の八田真行教授(経営情報論)は、「一つでもヒットすれば良いという感覚で、かなりの数の攻撃を仕掛けている」と指摘する。無差別に大量の攻撃を行うことで成功率を高めている可能があるという。

さらに八田氏は、人工知能(AI)の活用で攻撃の手数が増えると予測。「セキュリティーは一定の確率で破られることを前提に、暗号資産の出金には複数人の署名を必須化するなどの対策が重要だ」と警鐘を鳴らしている。

The government analyzes that the cause of personal information leaks due to unauthorized access is a lack of basic measures by companies, but points out that the emergency package does not include tougher sanctions and instead focuses on measures that violate the confidentiality of citizens' communications, such as considering "blocking" by telecommunications carriers to shut down sites.
