2022 has witnessed a record number of cybercrimes in the crypto industry and is probably one of the worst years for the industry, with many firms going out of business and billions of dollars of investors’ money stolen. The latest victim was the Bitcoin mining pool, BTC.com, which revealed about the cyber attack on December 26.
The attack, which occurred on December 3, caused BTC.com to lose digital assets worth around $700,000, owned by the company’s clients, and around $2.3 million in assets owned by its parent company, BIT Mining Limited.
Resmi basın bülteni by BTC.com revealed that the incident has been reported to China’s Shenzhen law enforcement authorities, and fortunately, some of the stolen funds have already been secured with the local as well as the company’s internal coordination.
Yetkililer 23 Aralık'ta delil toplamakla başlayan bir soruşturma başlattı ve ilgili kurumlarla daha fazla koordinasyon ve BIT Mining'den yardım istedi. Özellikle, duyuru, saldırı satıcısıyla ilgili herhangi bir ayrıntı açıklamadı. Basın açıklaması şöyle:
“In the wake of discovering this cyberattack, the Company has implemented technology to better block and intercept hackers. BTC.com is currently operating its business as usual, and apart from its digital asset services, its client fund services are unaffected.”
Siber suçlar giderek daha karmaşık ve daha sık hale geliyor. Kripto alanında, hızlı zengin şemaları, sahte airdrop'lar, sahte sosyal medya eşantiyonları, gerçek kripto borsalarının ve borç verme platformlarının kimliğine bürünme ve kripto varlıklarını yem olarak kullanan aşk dolandırıcılığı gibi diğer dolandırıcılık faaliyetleri dahil olmak üzere çeşitli biçimler alırlar.
While regulatory agencies around the world are trying to come up with better regulatory frameworks for the industry, bad actors seem to be unaffected. In October this year, hacker(s) targeted Binance’s cross-chain bridge BSC Token Hub, stealing over $570 million worth of funds. More recently, decentralized finance protocol Defrost Finance faced a rug pull attack losing around $12 million in funds.
Bu ay, Microsoft uyardı the industry of an attack that is particularly targeting crypto startups. The malicious threat, DEV-013, allegedly joins chat groups on the well-known social messaging platform Telegram to gain trust of its target and gain remote access to the victims’ systems.
The tech giant also confirmed that some of the hackers “had a broader knowledge of this specific part of the industry, indicating that they were well prepared and aware of the current challenge the targeted companies may have.”
