2月13日消息,韩国执法系统再曝加密资产管理漏洞。首尔江南警察署确认,在一宗调查中于2021年11月查扣并保存的比特币,近期被发现已从USB冷钱包中转移。内部核查显示,涉及数量为22枚比特币,按当前价格估算约合150万美元,警方已向媒体证实此事。
据披露,该冷钱包的U盘本体并未丢失,但链上资产却被成功转出。由于相关案件一度中止调查,这一异常长期未被察觉,直到近期全国范围内对证物与数字资产管理进行排查时才被发现。当地媒体率先披露后,引发社会舆论对执法机构加密资产保管机制的质疑。
目前,京畿道北部警察厅已启动内部调查,以厘清转移路径、责任环节以及是否存在内部人员违规操作。警方代表仅表示案件仍在调查中,暂不便披露更多细节。
值得注意的是,此次事件并非孤例。此前,韩国另一地区在类似排查中发现曾被查扣的320枚比特币同样不翼而飞。相关报道称,负责证据管理的人员误入钓鱼网站,导致私钥泄露,资产被迅速转走。这一连串事件暴露出传统执法体系在面对去中心化资产时的管理短板。
业内人士指出,加密资产不同于现金或实物,其安全完全依赖私钥管理与流程规范。一旦风控缺位,即便存放在“冷钱包”中,也可能因人为疏忽或系统漏洞而遭受不可逆的损失。随着韩国对数字资产监管不断收紧,此类案件可能推动更严格的证物托管与审计机制出台。
这起22枚比特币失踪事件,已成为韩国加密执法史上的又一次警示,凸显出在加密时代,制度与技术并重的必要性。
