Probably the biggest innovation the group offers is its Whitehat Safe Harbor Agreement, which offers “legal protection and incentives for whitehats to rescue funds under active exploit.” This is accomplished through an advance agreement that reads in part:

该组织提供的最大创新可能是其“白帽安全港协议”，该协议为“白帽分子拯救被积极利用的资金提供法律保护和激励”。这是通过一份预先协议来实现的，该协议的部分内容如下：

“Provided that you act lawfully, competently and in good faith, the protocol and its members waive the right to pursue legal claims against you.”

“只要您合法、称职且真诚地行事，协议及其成员就放弃对您提出法律索赔的权利。”

“However, be aware that the legal landscape is complex, and engaging in agreements of this nature carries associated risks,” the agreement continues.

“但是，请注意，法律环境很复杂，参与这种性质的协议会带来相关风险，”该协议继续说道。

Security Alliance drew its inspiration from the Nomad hack in August 2022. Many white hat hackers took part in the recovery of the Nomad funds, but:

安全联盟从 2022 年 8 月的 nomad 黑客事件中汲取灵感。许多白帽黑客参与了 nomad 资金的追回，但是：

“Members of the security community lamented that had there been a legal framework in place that enabled whitehats to crystallize good faith with action, more people could have helped. So, we decided to build one.”

“安全界成员感叹，如果有一个法律框架使白帽分子能够通过行动具体化善意，更多的人可以提供帮助。因此，我们决定建造一个。”

Although the only individual participant in Security Alliance mentioned on the website is samczsun, who follows the common security practice of disguising their true identity to avoid reprisals, several others have been named on X as group members or have identified themselves as such.

尽管网站上提到的安全联盟中唯一的个人参与者是 samczsun，他遵循隐藏真实身份以避免报复的常见安全做法，但其他几个人已在 x 上被指定为团体成员或已表明自己是团体成员。

So many talented lawyers helped make the Whitehat Safe Harbor Agreement a reality, including @MikeBacina, @lex_node, @milesjennings, @RSSH273, @Debevoise, @SH_Brennan, @MarcGoldich, @0xCharmed, and the entire @LeXpunK_Army

许多才华横溢的律师帮助白帽安全港协议成为现实，包括@mikebacina、@lex_node、@milesjennings、@rssh273、@debevoise、@sh_brennan、@marcgoldich、@0xcharmed 和整个@lexpunk_army

The group claimed to have over 50 donors and partners. Among those named were the Ethereum Foundation, Vitalik Buterin, a16zcrypto, Paradigm, Electric Capital and Coinbase. A Bloomberg report stated that the group had raised over $1 million, with Buterin alone contributing $500,000.

该组织声称拥有 50 多个捐助者和合作伙伴。其中包括以太坊基金会、vitalik buterin、a16zcrypto、paradigm、electric capital 和 coinbase。彭博社报道称，该组织已筹集超过 100 万美元，其中 buterin 一人就贡献了 50 万美元。

According to one estimate, $2.61 billion was lost to hacks and scams in 2023, and only a small fraction of it is recovered. New hacking technology is constantly emerging.

据一项估计，2023 年黑客和诈骗造成的损失达 26.1 亿美元，而且只有一小部分被追回。新的黑客技术不断涌现。
