Newtalk新聞 美國期中選舉進入最後倒數關鍵週末，全美政治氣氛緊繃。川普政府在選前關頭加碼發動司法攻防，不僅針對阿拉斯加州參議員選舉爆發的「同名候選人」爭議擴大刑事調查，更揚言要將加州逾2萬張郵寄選票的資格爭議一路告上聯邦最高法院。這次選舉結果將全面改選聯邦參議院35席及眾議院全數435席，直接決定共和黨能否保住國會兩院的多數優勢，牽動未來整體政局走勢。 根據《路透社》（ Reuters ）報導，阿拉斯加州檢方目前正鎖定調查民主黨參議員候選人佩爾托拉（ Mary Peltola ）陣營，釐清其幕僚是否刻意招募與現任共和黨參議員蘇利文（ Dan S. Sullivan ）同名同姓的退休教師小蘇利文（ Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. ）參選，企圖混淆選民視聽以瓜分票源。阿拉斯加州聯邦檢察官海曼（ Michael Heyman ）於 10 月 30 日在記者會上指出，《紐約時報》（ The New York Times ）日前揭露佩爾托拉陣營曾與參議院民主黨選舉委員會合作招募小蘇利文，隨後，聯邦調查局（ FBI ）已大幅增派調查人力進駐此案。海曼更直斥小蘇利文為「冒牌候選人」；不過，佩爾托拉本人、民主黨參議院競選委員會以及小蘇利文均嚴詞否認指控，強調絕無刻意招募一事。 目前共和黨在參議院以53席對47席握有多數，在眾議院同樣僅享有些微領先優勢。若共和黨在此次期中選舉失去任一院的控制權，民主黨不僅將能全面封殺川普政府的施政藍圖，更可動用國會調查權對行政體系展開嚴厲檢驗。截至目前，全美已有超過5100萬名選民透過親自提前投票或郵寄選票完成投票程序，創下歷史新高紀錄。 …

Newtalk新聞 全球最大加密貨幣交易所幣安（Binance）10 月 29 日遭駭客入侵！價值約 63 億美元（約新台幣 2006 億元）的加密貨幣遭竊，創下加密貨幣史上最大竊案紀錄。美國聯邦調查局（FBI）證實，這起攻擊是由北韓政府支持的駭客組織「TraderTraitor」所發動。 《路透社》報導，幣安 31 日在社群平台 X 發文指出，公司已透過購買相同種類的加密貨幣，補回約九成遭竊資產。至於剩餘 10%，由於涉及市場流動性較低的代幣，短時間內難以大量購回，需更多時間處理。幣安共同執行長鄧偉政（Richard Teng）強調，公司將承擔此次資安事件造成的全部損失，避免用戶蒙受財務損害。 這起天價竊案發生在美東時間 29 日下午 4 時 20 分左右，當時幣安偵測到大量異常交易，發現公司錢包內的加密貨幣正快速流向外部帳戶，短短約半小時內竟有數十億美元資產被轉走。《美聯社》報導，FBI 於 31 日發布聲明，正式將攻擊歸咎於北韓支持的「TraderTraitor」組織。該組織去年也被指涉及加密貨幣交易所 Bybit 價值 15 億美元的竊案。FBI 指出，駭客正將此次竊取的資產主要轉換成以太幣（Ethereum），未來可能透過去中心化金融平台及快速兌幣服務進一步洗錢，以掩蓋資金流向。 《金融時報》報導，駭客疑似先控制幣安一名工程師的筆記型電腦，再利用取得的系統權限繞過安全機制，向公司錢包發出未經授權的轉帳指令。鄧偉政透露，調查人員還發現用來清除入侵痕跡的惡意軟體，且受駭範圍可能不只一處，整起攻擊的完整過程仍待釐清。 …

Newtalk新聞 全球最大加密貨幣交易所幣安（Binance）於台北時間今（30）日凌晨4時許發生重大資安事件。據美國區塊鏈分析公司TRM Labs調查，攻擊者從幣安位於10條區塊鏈上的錢包轉走價值約63.6億美元（約新台幣2,074億元）的加密資產，創下史上最大規模加密貨幣竊盜紀錄。TRM Labs根據鏈上及鏈下情報，高度確信此次攻擊是由北韓駭客組織TraderTraitor發動。 針對有多少虛擬貨幣遭竊，TRM追蹤了幣安所屬錢包在10條區塊鏈上，若依照各項資產遭竊當下的市場價格計算，損失總額約為63.6億美元（約新台幣2,074億元）。若以目前市場價格估算，同一批遭竊資產的價值則約為62.3億美元（約新台幣2,032億元）。 對於誰是幕後指使者一事，TRM Labs根據鏈上及鏈下情報，將此次攻擊歸咎於北韓駭客組織TraderTraitor。而美國聯邦調查局（FBI）先前就認定，TraderTraitor就是去年2月造成15億美元（約新台幣489億元）損失的Bybit駭客攻擊事件幕後主使。 TRM Labs指出，此次攻擊的多項特徵，與過去涉及北韓的加密貨幣竊盜案件相似，包括Bybit駭客事件，以及今年4月發生的KelpDAO駭客事件。其共同特徵包括透過隱私協議Tornado Cash提領少量資金，為攻擊者操作的錢包提供資金；在實際竊盜發生前很長一段時間，就已開始部署攻擊；以及提前取得交易簽章，再於短時間內集中執行大量交易。 幣安於30日發布聲明表示，經他們初步調查，此次安全事件可能涉及一名 DevOps 工程師的筆記型電腦被入侵，致使攻擊者得以存取某個服務容器並提交未經授權的提現交易。 圖：Shutterstock 而幣安於今日發布聲明表示，經他們初步調查，此次安全事件可能涉及一名 DevOps 工程師的筆記型電腦被入侵，致使攻擊者得以存取某個服務容器並提交未經授權的提現交易。我們目前未發現任何錢包私鑰洩露的證據。待調查完成、事實得到全面核實後，我們將發布詳細的技術復盤報告。 幣安表示，此次事件造成的總影響估計約為63億美元。我們已與區塊鏈合作夥伴協作凍結受影響資產，目前已在鏈上凍結約30億美元。而幣安將透過SAFU基金及公司自有資金承擔全部損失，強調用戶資金是安全，而幣安也將在修復工作完成後，發布更新版的儲備金證明（Proof of Reserves）。 幣安表示，為即時防範潛在風險，已在完成安全檢查前暫停加密資產充值及提現服務，同時撤銷受影響地址的授權，並與執法機關及區塊鏈情報合作夥伴合作，追蹤遭轉移資金並設法追回。幣安強調，團隊正全天候投入調查與處置工作，務求安全、徹底解決此次資安事件，並持續與執法機關密切合作，確認涉案人士身分，依法追究其責任。延伸閱讀：幣安驚傳資安危機！近60億美元資產疑涉案 比特幣跌至6週低點、近24萬人爆倉蘇巧慧前進永和溪洲市場掃街！攤商菜頭蔥蒜送不停 民眾高喊「全家都投給你！」不只遭爆霸凌等爭議 佀廣洋涉賄選遭檢諭12萬元交保和宋楚瑜視察馬太鞍溪防洪工程 卓榮泰：打造四道堤防給鄉親雙重安全保障侯友宜出動陪掃街 李四川：今年是做事連線與選舉連線的對決
