Kwinyathelo eliqinisekileyo elichasene nolwaphulo-mthetho olunxulumene ne-cryptocurrency, abasemagunyeni baseJamani babambe i-34 yezigidi zeerandi (malunga ne-38 yezigidi zeedola) kwii-asethi zedijithali ezivela kwi-crypto exchange eXch. Iqonga lityholwa ukuba liququzelele ukuthuthwa kweemali ezibiweyo ngexesha le-Bybit hack ye-$ 1.5 yezigidigidi ngoFebruwari 2025. Lo msebenzi, ubhengezwe ngoMeyi 9 yi-Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) kunye ne-Ofisi yoMtshutshisi woLuntu waseFrankfurt, imele i-crypto-asethi yesithathu enkulu kwimbali yaseJamani.
Ii-asethi ezithinjiweyo ziquka i-Bitcoin (BTC), i-Ether (ETH), i-Litecoin (LTC), kunye ne-Dash (DASH). Ukongeza kwii-asethi zedijithali, abasemagunyeni bachitha isiseko seseva ye-eXch, bakhusela ngaphezulu kweeterabytes ezisibhozo zedatha. I-domain yeqonga, kunye ne-clearnet yayo kunye ne-darknet interfaces, zithathwe ngaphandle kweintanethi.
Yasekwa ngo-2014, i-eXch isebenze njengenkonzo yokutshintshiselana ngemali ye-crypto, eyenza ukutshintshiselana kwempahla yedijithali ngaphandle kokuphumeza imilinganiselo ye-Anti-Money Laundering (AML) okanye i-Yazi uMthengi Wakho (KYC) protocol. Oku kungabikho kolawulo kwenze ukuba ibe yindlela enomtsalane yokuhamba kwemali ngokungekho mthethweni. Abaphandi baqikelela ukuba i-eXch icubungule malunga ne-1.9 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi kwintengiselwano, inxalenye enkulu yayo ekukholelwa ukuba inxulunyaniswe nemisebenzi yolwaphulo-mthetho.
Inxalenye ephawulekayo yee-asethi ezihlanjululweyo zivela kwi-Bybit breach, apho malunga ne-401,000 ETH yabiwa. Abahlalutyi baxele ukuba i-5,000 ETH yafakwa kwi-eXch kwaye emva koko yaguqulwa yaba yiBitcoin ngeprotocol yeChainflip. IQela laseLazarus laseNyakatho Korea lirhaneleka ukuba lisemva kolu hlaselo lwe-cyber.
I-eXch iye yadityaniswa nolwaphulo-mthetho olongezelelweyo lwe-crypto, kubandakanywa ubusela be-243 yezigidi zeerandi ezibandakanya amatyala eGenesis, i-FixedFloat exploit, kunye nobuqhetseba obuxhaphakileyo. Ngokutsho komphandi we-blockchain u-ZachXBT, iqonga alizange lihoywe ngokuphindaphindiweyo izicelo zokuvala iidilesi ezikrokrelekayo okanye ukuthobela imiyalelo yokumisa.
Ngaphandle kokubhengeza ukuvalwa nge-1 kaMeyi, i-eXch iqhubekile nokubonelela ngeenkonzo ze-API kumaqabane athile. Iifemu zezobuntlola ziye zabona umsebenzi oqhubekayo we-on-chain, kubandakanywa iintengiselwano ezinxulumene nezixhobo zokuxhatshazwa kwabantwana ngokwesondo (CSAM), nasemva kokuvalwa koluntu.
Umtshutshisi woLuntu oPhezulu uBenjamin Krause ugxininise ukubaluleka kokuchithwa kwe-crypto-swapping platforms engaziwa, echaza ukuba iinkonzo ezinjalo zidlala indima ebalulekileyo ekufihleni iimali ezingekho mthethweni ezivela kwi-cybercrimes kunye nobuqhetseba bezemali.
Esi senzo sonyanzeliso sibonisa inyathelo elibalulekileyo kwiinzame zolawulo lwamazwe ngamazwe ukulwa nokuthengiswa kwemali kwe-crypto-enabled. Njengoko i-asethi yedijithali ifumana ukwamkelwa ngokubanzi, imibutho elawulayo iqinisa ukuphonononga kwabo ukuqinisekisa ukuba semthethweni kunye nokungafihli kweenkqubo zemali ye-crypto.
