纽约(InsideBitcoins)—数字简直令人难以理解。在过去一年里,黑客从银行系统中窃取了10亿美元,针对数十家全球银行机构,破坏了金融行业的核心。尽管比特币声誉不佳——其新兴交易所几乎每天被黑客攻击数百万美元,但数字货币的核心技术可能是金融安全急需的答案:区块链。
隐秘偷窃
总部位于英国的卡巴斯基实验室拥有全球3000名专家,自称是全球最大的私营安全供应商。其最近的报告称这是“世纪最大的银行劫案”,详细描述了针对脆弱银行系统的惊人攻击,读起来就像一本间谍小说。
“为了渗透银行的内部网络,攻击者使用针对性的网络钓鱼邮件,诱使用户打开,通过恶意软件感染机器,”报告称。“在控制了受感染的机器后,网络犯罪分子将其作为入口点;他们探测银行的内部网络并感染其他PC,以找出哪些可用于访问关键财务系统。完成这一步后,犯罪分子研究了银行使用的金融工具,使用键盘记录器和隐秘的屏幕截图功能。
“然后,为了完成计划,黑客提取资金,根据具体情况定义最便利的方法,无论是使用SWIFT转账还是创建虚假银行账户,通过‘狸猫’提取现金,或通过远程命令对ATM进行操作。”

这不是一次短暂的高科技盗窃,而是一次持续进行的长期盗窃。卡巴斯基称去年2月发现了首起盗窃案,并至今仍在持续。
“显然,攻击者不会停止,直到被抓住,”报告总结道。
银行需要区块链
彼得·柯比(Peter Kirby)是Factom的总裁,领导着一个开发团队,致力于在比特币区块链上构建一层安全数据。他认为这项技术可以解决金融行业面临的一系列挑战,所有这些都建立在区块链之上。
“它允许我们对基本上任何事物编写永久的记录系统,并以分布式方式存储,有一万个不同的节点保护它。因此,大家都对在此基础上开发的种种机会感到兴奋,”柯比在Factom网站上的一段介绍视频中说。“我们最近做的一个项目是与Omni Wallet合作,用一个哈希值保护他们所做的每一笔交易,并将该哈希值存入区块链。这就是存在的证明。”

柯比认为区块链技术也可以帮助银行业处理更加平凡的日常事务。
“美国银行最近因为基本上丢失了按揭记录链而支付了170亿美元的罚款。这导致他们拿走了一些人可能不应该拥有的房屋,引发了相当大的混乱,”他说。“如果你通过Factom运行,那会是什么样子呢?每笔按揭都包含大量文件——数百页——全部存储在Factom中,并附有时间戳和存在证明,这样你就可以看到它们的链条。”
在十亿美元银行黑客案中,犯罪分子经常修改个人账户余额,使可用的美元价值膨胀,然后提取资产。消费者被抢走了他们根本没有的钱。对于客户来说可能不是问题,但对于不得不承担数百万美元损失的银行来说,这是一场噩梦。区块链对交易的无可辩驳记录可能已经阻止了这样的盗窃。
彼得·柯比将在3月5-6日在柏林举行的Inside Bitcoins会议上发表“使用区块链解决实际业务问题”演讲。
