Bybit 披露称,公司已在美国哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院提起民事诉讼,起诉朝鲜、其侦察总局以及 Lazarus Group,指控其与去年针对交易所的 15 亿美元盗币案有关。与此同时,Bybit 表示已取得法院初步禁令,冻结部分与案件相关的已识别资产。

法院先行冻结部分资产

根据 Bybit 的说法,这项初步禁令禁止案件相关方在诉讼期间转移、出售或处置已识别资产。被冻结资产目前由一批身份未公开的个人和实体持有,这些对象在诉讼文件中被列为“John Doe”被告。

Bybit 表示,这项命令的目的,是在案件审理期间保全被盗数字资产,以便后续追索资金,并配合跨国执法调查。公司还称,后续将继续向法院寻求进一步救济。

盗币案发生在 2025 年 2 月

Bybit 称,2025 年 2 月 21 日,攻击者从平台窃取约 15 亿美元的以太坊相关资产,包括超过 40 万枚 ETH 和 stETH。这起事件被认为是加密行业历史上金额最大的单次盗窃案之一。

按文中援引的数据,朝鲜黑客在 2025 年共窃取约 20.2 亿美元加密资产,其中 Bybit 一案占了大部分。Chainalysis 的统计还显示,朝鲜黑客累计盗取的加密资产规模已达 67.5 亿美元。

  • 被盗资产包括 ETH 与 stETH
  • 单案金额约 15 亿美元
  • 诉讼地点为美国哥伦比亚特区联邦法院

公司称将继续追索资金

Bybit 联合创始人兼 CEO Ben Zhou 表示,公司当前重点仍是保护用户、尽可能追回资产,并推动相关责任方被追责。他还称,这次攻击不仅针对 Bybit,也冲击了整个行业的信任基础。

Bybit 同时强调,这起民事诉讼独立于美国执法部门正在推进的刑事调查。也就是说,交易所此次行动主要是通过民事司法程序保全资产、推进追偿,而刑事部分仍由执法机构另行处理。

补充信息:此次冻结令属于初步禁令,意味着法院要求相关持有人在案件审理期间不得转移涉案资产,但并不等同于案件已经作出最终责任认定。
