Bill Bryson befasst sich mit dem größten Bitcoin -Überfall aller Zeiten 🤑💰

Nun, na ja, was haben wir hier? Das Blockchain-Analysefirma Arkham hat gerade den Vorhang in einer wenig bekannten Episode zurückgezogen, die Ihre Augen zum Wasser und Ihren Brieftasche weinen könnte. Im Dezember 2020 wurde ein chinesischer Bergbaupool namens Lubian (der wie ein Charakter aus einem Märchen klingt, nicht wahr?) Von einem so massiven Hack getroffen, dass die große Mauer Chinas wie ein Gartenzaun aussieht. Zu dieser Zeit verschwand eine satte 127.426 BTC im Wert von etwa 3,5 Milliarden US -Dollar. Das ist richtig, Leute, der größte Kryptodiebstahl in der Geschichte! Und wenn Sie die Punktzahl zu Hause halten, ist dieser Transport heute erstaunliche 14,5 Milliarden US -Dollar wert. 🤩

„Weder Lubian noch der Hacker haben den Hack öffentlich anerkannt“, erklärte die Firma und fügte eine mysteriöse Ebene hinzu, die dicker ist als ein Peking -Nebel. 🌫️

Breaking: Arkham entdeckt $ 3,5 Mrd. Überfall – der größte aller Zeiten

Lubian war ein chinesischer Bergbaupool mit Einrichtungen in China und Iran. Basierend auf der Analyse von Onkain-Daten scheint es, dass 127.426 BTC im Dezember 2020 von Lubian gestohlen wurde, was zu dieser Zeit 3,5 Milliarden US-Dollar im Wert von 3,5 Milliarden US

The breach, which managed to stay under the radar for a jaw-dropping four years, drained nearly all of LuBian’s holdings. This mining pool, once a top-ten global player with 6% of Bitcoin’s hash rate, mysteriously shut down in early 2021. At the time, everyone thought it was due to regulatory pressure, but it turns out the real reason was this catastrophic hack. Imagine closing your lemonade stand because someone stole all your lemons and the recipe! 😂

According to Arkham, the initial hack in December 2020 netted the thief over 90% of LuBian’s BTC. Later that month, an additional $6 million of BTC and USDT was siphoned from a LuBian address active on the Bitcoin Omni layer. The miner tried to salvage what was left, moving their remaining funds to recovery wallets at the end of December 2020. But it was too little, too late.

Arkham believes the theft was made possible by weak private key generation, making the system vulnerable to brute-force attacks. LuBian, in a desperate bid to recover the funds, sent over 1,500 small transactions with 1.4 BTC, each accompanied by a heartfelt plea for the return of the stolen goods. Alas, the hacker, who must have a heart of stone, never responded. 🙄

In the end, LuBian managed to preserve 11,886 BTC, currently worth $1.35 billion, which they still hold. However, the hacker still clings to the stolen BTC, with their last known movement being a wallet consolidation in July 2024. This makes the LuBian hacker the 13th largest Bitcoin holder on Arkham, putting them ahead of the infamous Mt. Gox hacker. Talk about a heist to remember! 💰

Big Year For Crypto Hacks

But wait, there’s more! Cybersecurity firm Certik reported that around $153 million was lost to exploits and scams in July alone. Of this, $86.6 million was attributed to incidents involving exchanges, while $55.4 million was lost due to code vulnerabilities. It seems the digital world is as full of pitfalls as a minefield. 🚧

And if that wasn’t enough, Hacken reported that a staggering $3.1 billion has been lost in the first six months of 2025, marking DeFi’s „worst quarter since early 2023.“ A surge in social engineering and AI-driven attacks is to blame, with losses already exceeding those of all of 2024. It’s a digital Wild West out there, folks, and the bandits are getting smarter. 🤠
