香港比特币惊天大劫案后果：投资者损失惨重 - 比特币 - IT资讯
上周二，香港比特币交易所Bitfinex近12万单位的比特币遭窃取，价值超过7,000万美元。8月6日Bitfinex平台公告称，失窃事件导致用户在平台上的资产减少36%，Bitfinex计划向用户发放可兑换母公司股份的代币来做出赔偿。
Bitfinex是比特币最大交易所之一，以美元/比特币货币平台的深厚流动性而闻名数字货币领域。此次失窃的比特币数据相当于全部流通量的0.75%。遭窃取次日，Bitfinex发布公告称禁用存取和交易数字货币等平台核心功能，结算价以8月3日为准。目前网站交易功能尚未恢复。
这是同类交易平台的第二大入侵失窃事件，另一家比特币交易所MtGox在2014年有超过4.7亿美元的比特币遭黑客窃取，被迫申请破产，引发比特币价格暴跌逾30%。失窃消息传出后，Bitfinex比特币下挫逾23%，随后有所反弹，8月3日最终交易价为566.79美元。
“它是最大的美元交易所，所以在中国以外，这是每个人都会开设帐户的交易所，”路透援引新加坡比特币专家Antony Lewis称，“它的流动性很强，大家可以用保证金交易，日交易量很大。”bitcoincharts网站数据显示，在过去的1个月中，Bitfinex是全球最大的以美元计价的比特币交易平台。
失窃事件再度引发对虚拟货币安全性问题的讨论。早在MtGox失窃时就有分析观点认为，比特币失窃归咎于比特币安全系统的缺陷和薄弱。其分散式的结构虽然吸引了很多人，但也可能导致其系统的缺陷难以修复。
Bitfinex公告称，Bitfinex仍然对比特币保有信心。失窃始于一封含有带病毒的附件的钓鱼邮件，该邮件并非由Bitfinex平台发布，而是来自外部。
Bitfinex平台目前正常功能还未完全恢复，用户可登录到个人账户，但交易仍被禁用。网站最新公告称存取款和外汇交易将最先恢复，之后会是非美国用户的保证金交易。
