聯(lián)合國揭露朝鮮涉嫌 1.475 億美元的加密貨幣洗錢活動
?
According to confidential findings by UN sanctions monitors, North Korea utilised the virtual currency platform Tornado Cash to launder $147.5 million in March, following its theft from a cryptocurrency exchange last year. The monitors revealed to a UN Security Council sanctions committee that they had been investigating 97 suspected cyberattacks by North Korea on cryptocurrency companies between 2017 and 2024, totalling approximately $3.6 billion.
根據(jù)聯(lián)合國制裁監(jiān)察員的機密調(diào)查結(jié)果，朝鮮繼去年從加密貨幣交易所被盜后，今年3月利用虛擬貨幣平臺 Tornado Cash 洗錢1.475億美元。監(jiān)察員向聯(lián)合國安理會制裁委員會透露，他們一直在調(diào)查2017年至 2024 年間朝鮮對加密貨幣公司進行的97起疑似網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊，總價值約36億美元。

As can be seen in these confidential findings, one notable incident involved the theft of $147.5 million from the HTX cryptocurrency exchange late last year, which was then laundered in March. The monitors cited information from crypto analytics firm PeckShield and blockchain research firm Elliptic. In 2024 alone, they investigated 11 cryptocurrency thefts valued at $54.7 million, suggesting possible involvement by North Korean IT workers hired by small crypto-related companies.
從這些機密調(diào)查結(jié)果中可以看出，一個值得注意的事件涉及去年底從 HTX 加密貨幣交易所盜竊1.475億美元，并于3月份進行了洗錢。監(jiān)控者引用了加密貨幣分析公司 PeckShield 和區(qū)塊鏈研究公司 Elliptic 的信息。僅在 2024 年，他們就調(diào)查了11起加密貨幣盜竊案，價值5470萬美元，表明小型加密相關(guān)公司雇用的朝鮮IT工人可能參與其中。

North Korea, officially known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), has faced UN sanctions since 2006, aimed at curbing funding for its ballistic missile and nuclear programs. The US has previously sanctioned Tornado Cash over alleged support for North Korea, with two co-founders charged with facilitating money laundering. Virtual currency ‘mixer’ platforms like Tornado Cash blend cryptocurrencies to obscure their source and ownership.
朝鮮，正式名稱為朝鮮民主主義人民共和國（DPRK），自2006年以來一直面臨聯(lián)合國制裁，旨在限制對其彈道導(dǎo)彈和核計劃的資助。美國此前曾因涉嫌支持朝鮮而對Tornado Cash實施制裁，兩名聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人被指控協(xié)助洗錢。Tornado Cash等虛擬貨幣“混合器”平臺混合了加密貨幣，以掩蓋其來源和所有權(quán)。
