Jack Recider: 本集讲述了一个利用黑客技术窃取新闻稿进行内幕交易的国际犯罪团伙的故事。该团伙由乌克兰黑客Ivan Turchnyov和Oleg领导,他们入侵了MarketWire、PR Newswire和BusinessWire等新闻资讯网站,窃取了大量的未公开新闻稿。这些新闻稿随后被传递给以Vitaly Korchevsky为首的美国交易员团队,他们利用这些信息进行内幕交易,从中获利数千万美元。该计划持续数年,直到2015年被美国执法部门破获。 该计划的复杂性在于其跨国性质以及参与者的分工明确。黑客负责窃取信息,交易员负责利用信息进行交易,中间人负责传递信息,确保信息链条的完整性。该计划的成功也依赖于参与者之间的信任和默契配合。 最终,该计划的失败源于参与者之间的背叛、贪婪以及执法部门技术的进步。执法部门利用先进的技术手段,例如Artemis系统,能够有效地识别和追踪可疑交易行为,从而揭露了该犯罪团伙的活动。 Vitaly Korchevsky: 我是一名对冲基金经理和浸信会牧师,我承认我参与了内幕交易,但我坚称我不知道这些信息是通过非法手段获得的。我被Arkady Dubovoy说服,相信他拥有一个可靠的信息来源,可以提供未公开的财务报告。我承认我利用这些信息进行交易,并从中获利,但我对信息的来源并不知情。我深感后悔,并愿意承担责任。 Arkady Dubovoy: 我承认我参与了这个计划,并从中获利。我与乌克兰黑客合作,窃取了大量的未公开新闻稿,并将其提供给交易员团队。我承认我的行为是非法的,我愿意为我的行为承担责任。我深感后悔,并希望能够弥补我的过错。
