U.S. Targets Nemesis Darknet Market with Crypto Address Sanctions

美国制裁与 Nemesis 黑市有关的加密货币地址:深入分析 为打击暗网上的非法活动,美国最近对与 Nemesis 黑市有关的加密货币地址实施了制裁。这一举措针对的是被指控运营该平台的伊朗公民贝赫鲁兹·帕尔萨拉德,该平台于2024年3月被德国、美国和立陶宛的联合执法部门关闭。让我们来详细分析这一发展的细节和影响。 背景: Nemesis 黑市平台 Nemesis 于2021年由贝赫鲁兹·帕尔萨拉德创立,迅速成为网络犯罪分子和毒贩的聚集地。该平台促成了非法物质、伪造身份文件和专业黑客服务(包括DDoS攻击和勒索软件)的交易。在被关闭前,Nemesis 拥有超过3万名活跃用户和1000名供应商,内置了用于洗钱的功能[1][3]。 制裁及其影响 美国财政部资产控制办公室(OFAC)制裁了帕尔萨拉德,并将与其有关的49个加密货币地址(其中44个比特币地址和5个Monero地址)列入了黑名单[5]。这些制裁禁止美国公民与帕尔萨拉德或其控制的任何实体进行交易[1]。这一举动是打击非法在线市场的更大努力的一部分,此前美国已采取了类似行动,关闭了2022年的Hydra Market[5]。 金融活动及洗钱 根据区块链分析公司Chainalysis的数据,帕尔萨拉德的加密货币钱包在2022年7月至2024年3月期间从非法交易中收到了超过85万美元。此外,他还向其他黑市平台(如ASAP、Incognito和Next Generation)转移了超过1.2万美元[1]。帕尔萨拉德利用比特币价格波动扩大了其持有量,该持有量超过160万美元[5]。鉴于伊朗对毒品相关罪行的严厉惩罚,他的活动旨在逃避侦测[5]。 持续威胁及未来计划 尽管关闭了 Nemesis,但帕尔萨拉德据说计划推出新的黑市平台。这一威胁仍然存在,需要执法机构继续保持警惕[3]。美国制裁行动凸显了国际社会打击网络犯罪和贩毒的决心。 结论:反对黑市平台的持续斗争 对 Nemesis 和其运营商的制裁凸显了执法机构在打击黑市平台时面临的挑战。尽管采取了执法行动,但这些平台仍在不断发展,构成了重大威胁。俄罗斯语言黑市平台的韧性表明,需要更协调一致的国际努力才能有效摧毁这些非法网络[1]。   参考文献: cointelegraph.com securityweek.com cryptoslate.com
