Dans cet épisode, on revient sur l'une des plus grandes faillites de l'histoire des cryptomonnaies : l'affaire Mt. Gox. On a eu la chance de discuter avec Mark Karpelès, l'ancien PDG de la plateforme d'échange Mt. Gox, qui nous partage sa version des événements. Il nous raconte comment cette plateforme, autrefois au sommet, a sombré avec la disparition de centaines de milliers de bitcoins. Mark nous explique aussi les accusations portées contre lui, son arrestation et sa détention au Japon, ainsi que les pressions politiques et les défis qu'il a dû affronter face au système judiciaire japonais. On plonge également dans les failles de sécurité de Mt. Gox et les attaques dont elle a été victime. Mark nous dévoile comment, pendant des années, des petits montants de bitcoins étaient retirés progressivement, sans éveiller les soupçons, jusqu'à ce que tout s'effondre. Dans cette discussion, on évoque aussi d'autres plateformes qui ont été piratées et les possibles liens avec l'affaire Mt. Gox. On parle de hackers comme Alexander Vinnik et d'autres acteurs impliqués dans le vol de ces bitcoins, ainsi que des défis que Mt. Gox rencontrait pour avoir une vision claire sur ses fonds stockés.

Het is ongelofelijk maar toch echt waar: een deel van de verloren bitcoin van de Mt.Gox-exchangel lijkt te gaan worden uitgekeerd aan de slachtoffers. Van de 850.000 verdwenen munten krijgen slachtoffers 143.000 bitcoin terug. Het grootste deel van de coins is nog altijd spoorloos. Inmiddels weten we dat de bitcoin in een maanden- of zelfs jarenlange hack geruisloos van Mt.Gox gestolen werd. Al die tijd had de leiding van het bedrijf niets in de gaten. Het doet daarmee denken aan het drama en mismanagement rond FTX. Inmiddels is wél duidelijk dat het hoogstwaarschijnlijk Russen zijn geweest die achter de hack van Mt. Gox zitten. Het witwassen zou voor een groot deel voor de rekening van Alexander Vinnik zijn gekomen. Met zijn exchange BTC-E zou hij 300.000 bitcoin hebben witgewassen. Wat er uiteindelijk met de buit is gebeurd is niet helemaal duidelijk. Wel laat het maar zien dat het érg lastig is om een grote hoeveelheid bitcoin te stelen en vervolgens ook weer kwijt te raken. Ondertussen is er veel nieuws over Ethereum deze week. De ETF voor Eth lijkt deze óf komende week echt in de handel te gaan. Het is nog maar de vraag of dat direct voor grote prijsschokken gaat zorgen, maar positief nieuws is het wel. Ook staakt beurswaakhond SEC een belangrijk onderzoek naar de ontwikkelaars bij Consensys. Het bedrijf kan je het best kennen als de drijvende kracht achter de Metamask-wallet, de belangrijkste manier om Ethereum vast te houden. De SEC had een zogeheten Wells Notice afgegeven voor het bedrijf, wat een signaal is dat er een onderzoek gaat starten. Nu trekt de beurswaakhond zich dus terug, wat erop kan wijzen dat Ether voorzichtig als commodity (een goed, vergelijkbaar met staal, hout, olie of bitcoin) beschouwd kan worden.

Op het laatste moment lijkt het onderzoek van de Amerikaanse justitie alles in een stroomversnelling te brengen. Heeft Vinnik gepraat in zijn Amerikaanse cel? In de ontknoping van de zoektocht naar de gestolen bitcoins uit MtGox trekt Eline een paar sombere conclusies. Wereldmachten jagen op de gestolen buit en gedupeerden hebben het nakijken. Voor de Rode Admin en Alexander Vinnik draaide hun droom van een rijk leven uit op een complete nachtmerrie. Tot slot zit Eline nog met één prangende vraag; wie heeft de fatale hack van september 2011 gezet? De poging om een antwoord op die vraag te geven, leidt tot een verrassend inzicht.    Over Eline Ronner:  Eline Ronner is bedrijfskundige en zelfstandig podcastmaker.

De volgende halte in de zoektocht naar wat er met de gestolen bitcoins uit MtGox heet Alexander Vinnik. Hij wordt verdacht van het witwassen van miljarden dollars. Bovendien zou Vinnik aan het hoofd staan van BTC-e. In de zomer van 2022 staat podcastmaker Eline Ronner oog in oog met de man die waarschijnlijk de gestolen bitcoins uit MtGox heeft witgewassen. Bovendien zijn er bronnen die zeggen dat Vinnik niet zomaar een cybercrimineel is. Zou hij banden hebben met de Russische geheime dienst?   Wat is Blockchain Analyse  Blockchain analyse heeft een grote rol gespeeld in de research voor deze podcast.  Een blockchain is in feite een gedistribueerd grootboeksysteem dat bestaat uit blokken met goedgekeurde transacties. Deze technologie wordt vaak gebruikt in cryptovaluta zoals Bitcoin.  Iedere bitcoin transactie wordt vastgelegd in de blockchain. Je ziet bijvoorbeeld dat op een bepaald tijdstip adres A, 1 bitcoin heeft gestuurd naar adres B. Iedereen kan daarin grasduinen. Met blockchain analyse kunnen onderzoekers gegevens uit de blockchain halen en deze analyseren om informatie te krijgen en te duiden over transacties.  Over Eline Ronner:  Eline Ronner is bedrijfskundige en zelfstandig podcastmaker.

Es ist der 25. Juli 2017. Ein wunderschöner Strandtag im Norden von Griechenland. Während eines Famillienurlaubes wird der russische IT-Spezialist Alexander Vinnik verhaftet. Die amerikanischen Ermittlungsbehörden finden heraus, dass ein großer Teil der von Mt. Gox gestohlenen Bitcoins den Weg über das Konto von Alexander Vinnik genommen haben. Ihm wird vorgeworfen, über seine Bitcoinbörse BTC-e mehr als 4 Milliarden Dollar gewaschen zu haben. Auch für Mark Karpeles hat der Untergang von Mt. Gox Konsequenzen. Im Sommer 2015 wird er von den japanischen Behörden verhaftet. Als er in Untersuchungshaft sitzt, bestellt er sich die komplette Buchhaltung von Mt. Gox in seine Zelle und rechnet alles mit einem Taschenrechner nach. Er kann beweisen, dass die Staatsanwaltschaft sich verrechnet hat und er zu Unrecht wegen Veruntreuung angeklagt wurde. Mark kommt auf Kaution frei. Doch eine Frage bleibt offen: Wo sind die gestohlenen Bitcoins, die angeblich von Vinnik gewaschen wurden? Bei den Recherchen erhärtet sich ein unglaublicher Verdacht. Ein Teil der gestohlenen Bitcoins soll für die Finanzierung der Wahlmanipulation 2016 in den USA genutzt worden sein.

Zwei Monate nachdem Alexander Vinnik verhaftet wird und die von ihm betriebene Kryptobörse BTC-e offline geht, entsteht eine neue Kryptobörse: WEX. BTC-e Nutzer können sich bei WEX sogar mit ihren alten Nutzerdaten einloggen. Als der Investigativjournalist und Kryptoinvestor Tim Cotten Nachforschungen über die Blockchain anstellt, führt ihn die Spur des Geldes nicht nur zur Manipulation der US-Wahlen im Jahr 2016, sondern auch zu pro-russischen Separatisten in der Ostukraine. Steckt der russische Geheimdienst hinter dem größten Raub aller Zeiten? Für alle ehemaligen KundInnen von Mt. Gox gibt es einen Hoffnungsschimmer: 2023 soll es zu einer Rückzahlung an die GläubigerInnen aus der Insolvenzmasse kommen. Und: Kurz vor dem Ende der Recherche erreicht uns eine überraschende Nachricht: Der in Paris inhaftierte IT- Spezialist Vinnik, der die gestohlenen Bitcoins über seine Börse gewaschen haben soll, wird in die USA ausgeliefert. Welche Rolle hatte er beim größten Raub aller Zeiten gespielt? Was weiß er wirklich? Werden die amerikanischen Behörden sein Schweigen brechen?

Bonjour à tous et bienvenue dans le ZD Tech, le podcast quotidien de la rédaction de ZDNet. Je m'appelle Louis Adam et aujourd'hui, je vais vous raconter l'histoire de Locky, ce rançongiciel qui s'est attaqué à des internautes français dès 2016. A l'époque, les ransomwares n'ont pas encore eu droit à l'attention médiatique qu'ils connaissent aujourd'hui. Mais ce type de logiciel malveillant, qui chiffre les fichiers d'une machine pour exiger ensuite une rançon, commence à se développer. Parmi les représentants de cette nouvelle menace, un nom se distingue au début de l'année 2016 : Locky. Au début de cette année, de nombreux e-mails piégés contenant une pièce jointe malveillante sont détectés. Les destinataires qui ont le malheur de l'ouvrir sont infectés par le ransomware Locky, qui exige une rançon en bitcoin. Locky se diffuse dans de nombreux pays, mais ses opérateurs n'hésitent pas à recourir à des e-mails piégés adaptés à leurs cibles, en imitant par exemple de fausses factures Free Mobile en France. Et les victimes de Locky sont nombreuses, allant de simples particuliers ou petites entreprises jusqu'à des organisations plus importantes comme des hôpitaux américains. A cette époque, il n'est pas encore question de montants stratosphériques pour les rançons : les sommes extorquées par Locky se comptent plutôt en centaines de dollars, quelques milliers dans certains cas. Le crime semble payer : en 2017, des chercheurs estiment ainsi que le total des rançons extorquées par Locky s'élevait à 7,8 millions de dollars en cryptomonnaie. Ce qui distingue Locky, c'est le nombre important de victimes, à l'époque peu préparées face à ce type de menace. L'activité de Locky se concentre principalement sur l'année 2016, et la diffusion de ce logiciel malveillant s'essouffle rapidement, jusqu'à disparaître complètement environ un an plus tard. Plusieurs plaintes sont déposées par les victimes et des enquêtes sont ouvertes en France, mais les espoirs sont minces. Mais l'affaire va rebondir en France en fin d'année 2017, suite à l'arrestation en Grèce d'un citoyen russe, Alexander Vinnik. Celui-ci est accusé par la justice américaine d'avoir tenu une bourse d'échange de cryptomonnaies utilisée pour blanchir des fonds. En début d'année 2018, Vinnik est tout d'abord extradé en France. Les autorités françaises souhaitent en effet le juger pour ses activités de blanchiment d'argent, mais l'accusent aussi d'être le cybercriminel derrière le ransomware Locky. Les enquêteurs français ont suivi la piste des rançons versées par les victimes de Locky et sont remontés jusqu'à la plateforme d'Alexander Vinnik, qui a récolté l'essentiel des sommes extorquées. Vinnik est finalement condamné en décembre 2020 à cinq ans de prison, pour blanchiment en bande organisée. Mais l'ensemble des charges relatives à l'exploitation de Locky ne sont pas retenues par les juges. Un jugement confirmé par la suite en appel. Pour la justice française, Vinnik a bien contribué à recevoir et à blanchir les sommes extorquées par le rançongiciel, mais rien ne prouve qu'il en est le concepteur ou l'opérateur.

durée : 00:03:10 - Dans le prétoire - C’est un procès inédit qui se tient à Paris cette semaine. L’accusé est connu de tous les cyber enquêteurs de la planète : Alexander Vinnik, ressortissant russe, extradé de Grèce où il a été interpellé à la demande du FBI.

David Bailey, CEO of BTC Media, discusses the recent shutdown of BTC-eand its mysterious connection to the MtGox hack which led to the exchange's demise in 2014. He also introduces Po.et, a revolutionary proof-of-existence blockchain platform. The arrest of Alexander Vinnik and seizure of the BTC-e website by the FBI in late July shed some long-awaited light on the cold case of the 650,000 bitcoins which went missing from MtGox over several years from 2011 to 2013. Upon his arrest, WizSec released a comprehensive report detailing their findings on the matter, and stating that “Vinnik is [their] chief suspect for involvement in the MtGox theft (or the laundering of the proceeds thereof).” [Read more about the developing timeline of the MtGox/BTC-e connection & the lasting regulatory legacy of the hack.] Bailey also talks about BTC Media's partnership with Po.et, whose proof-of-existence mechanism uses hashing to allow media producers to timestamp and license their content in an unalterable system which will verify and automatically issue digital ownership. Po.et combines this timestamp with metadata about the published content to build an open ledger of media assets which includes information such as the original URL, the word count, the author's name and the publisher. Po.et also enables split-equity and payments terms for writers whose work is published by BTC Media, as well as different licensing agreements. Other use cases include the re-monetization of old content and individual profile management systems for employees of media outlets. The Po.et platform will ultimately build a digital fingerprint of each author's history and preserve their portfolio on a blockchain, revolutionizing the way in which digital content is published, leveraged and monetized. twitter.com/davidfbailey btcmedia.org twitter.com/_poetproject po.et consensys.net consensysmedia.net https://itunes.apple.com//podcast/the-ether-review/id899090462?mt=2
