导读：近日，比特币价格暴跌20%，引起虚拟资产市场不小的恐慌。原因为何？本文将进行详细介绍。（文末更多往期译文推荐）

几天前韩国加密货币交易所Coinrail受到黑客攻击，之后，比特币以及其他几种虚拟货币的价格一路下跌。

黑客在推特上高调公布攻击了Coinrail之后，比特币立刻暴跌，在一小时之内跌了350英镑。

后来，Coinrail在其网站的一份声明中证实，它已经损失了交易所交易量的30％。当地新闻网站Yonhap估计损失超过2700万英镑。

Coinrail表示，他们设法冻结了三分之二疑似泄露的代币，并声明：“为保证安全，所有尚未冻结的Coinrails资产都已转移到冷钱包。”

对于其他被盗的代币，Coinrail声称正在与调查机构、相关交易所和代币开发商协同调查。

Coinrail目前只发布了一些受到黑客攻击的代币名称，包括来自Aston的ATC，来自Pundi X项目的NPXS和来自NPER项目的代币。

在一篇博客文章中，Pundi X表示：“由于NPXS代币的价值占了我们所有资金的3％，考虑到各方的利益，我们已经在新加坡时间上午11点16分启动了紧急安全协议以阻止所有NPXS交易。“

Pundi X还表示他们已经向韩国国家警察局报警，韩国警察局正在与Coinrail合作共同逮捕黑客。

这只是加密货币交易中一系列网络安全漏洞事件之一。

去年一月，总部位于东京的虚拟货币交易所Coincheck也卷入了一起网络安全事件，黑客卷走了接近4亿英磅的加密货币。在接下来的几周里，日本当局对coincheck的办公室进行了突击检查。

Coincheck已经开始赔偿客户，但是作为此次黑客入侵的后果，它正面临着两起集体诉讼。

Bitcoin Drops as Another Cryptocurrency

Exchangeis Hacked

Bitcoin suffered a drop in price, along with several other virtual currencies following the disclosures that South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Coinrail was hacked at the weekend.

Bitcoin’s price dropped by over £350 in the space of an hour following the announcement of the hack by Coinrail in a tweet.

Coinrail later confirmed in a statement on its site that it had lost 30 percent of the coins traded on the exchange. Local news site Yonhap estimates the loss to be over £27 million.

Coinrail have said they have managed to freeze two-thirds of the coins suspected to be leaked and have stated in their release that: “All assets of Coinrails that have not been frozen are transferred to a cold wallet and are kept safe.’’

However, the rest of the stolen coins need to be looked at with Coinrail commenting: ‘’we are looking into it with an investigative agency, related exchanges and coin developers.’’

Coinrail have only released the names of a few of the tokens affected in the hack, names include ATC from Aston, NPXS token from the Pundi X project and NPER project tokens.

In a blog post, Pundi X stated that: ‘’Since the amount of NPXS token is equal to 3% of our current supply, which could potentially affect the interests of all parties, we instigated an emergency security protocol to halt ALL the NPXS transactions at 11:16 am Singapore time.’’

Within the post, Pundi X states that they have revived communication from the Korean National Police Agency who is now working with Coinrail to arrest the hacker.

They published the police corresponded from the Police which said they should: ‘’Hold onto the tokens that were hacked from the Coinrail accounts in order to protect NPXS Korean holders’ assets.’’

This is just another event in a series of cyber-security vulnerabilities linked to cryptocurrency exchanges.

Last January, Tokyo based virtual currency exchange Coincheck was involved in a cybersecurity event which saw hackers walk away with nearly £400 million pounds in cryptocurrency. The hack saw the Japanese authorities raid Coinchecks offices in the weeks that followed.

Coincheck has begun to reimburse its customers, but is facing two class-action lawsuits as a result of the fallout from the hack.
