国税厅虚拟资产泄露事故被确认已发生两次，调查工作正在全面展开。此次事故是因国税厅失误导致助记词（mnemonic code）泄露而引发的，鉴于该代码在虚拟资产交易中扮演重要角色，事件备受关注。
警察厅网络恐怖调查队已决定将此案从初步内部调查阶段转为正式调查。尽管黑客在窃取国税厅虚拟资产后提交自首书表明归还意愿，但确认该虚拟资产已转移至其他账户，警方已着手追查其他嫌疑人。
事件起因于上月26日，国税厅在扣押拖欠税款者虚拟资产后发布了相关新闻稿。在此过程中，作为重要安全要素的助记词遭到泄露，随后该电子钱包内的虚拟资产被疑遭黑客窃取。
泄露的虚拟资产为PRTG币，价值约69亿韩元，但因目前缺乏交易渠道难以变现，实际损失可能不大。尽管如此，作为大规模虚拟资产泄露事件，根据调查结果仍不能排除产生额外损失的可能性。
此类趋势可能引发未来对虚拟资产安全强化及相关制度改进的讨论。国税厅等政府机构的信息安全体系亟待进一步加强。
