@GoplusSecurity @Token_Sniffer So, what's going on?
1. The attacker uses "oowner" to define the owner so that analysis considers the contract has no owner -- really benign in the eye of static analysis! twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@GoplusSecurity @Token_Sniffer 2. The code for rug pull is inside "transfer" and "Approve" functions, very unconventional.
As tech reaches terminal #enshittification, so hollowed that they're barely able to keep end-users or business customers locked in, capital's running the final #rugpull, where all value is transfered from those who make things for a living to those who own things for a living. 1/

The project has appeared inactive since Oct. 2020 and was attacked using price manipulation.

It was a price manipulation attack caused due to the design flaw of the $UPStkn token - the _transfer function of the token.
The attack occurred in three key steps👇

1) the attacker uses 18 swaps to lift $UPStkn's sell pressure. Also, during the swaps, the attacker swaps 1.31 Ether for 136,299.97 UPStkn.

FYI. I’m not at all bitter even if I may sound it. In my youth I studied the history of money and the federal reserve system. After ‘the light bulb went on’, I felt I had no choice but to teach myself to invest/trade (play) the inflation/deflation cycle ‘game’ that the fed plays
Money will always be created in ever growing quantities. The game is to invest now where you’re sure it will flow to next #uranium as a sector is that place. The entire sector has such a tiny market cap (sub $100b) even if you include government owned entities.

What is a #Rugpull???🤔
A rug pull happens when developers suddenly abandon a project and disappear with the investors' funds. The name is derived from the expression "pull the rug out from under someone".
So how do they work???

So how do they work???
Rug pulls typically happen when projects take advantage of their hype and sell the majority of their liquidity. With low liquidity, the price of the token plummets and investors are forced to sell theirs at a significant loss.
Types of Rug Pulls:
Hard Rug Pull
A hard rug pull is a deceptive scheme in which the creators of a project intentionally deplete their liquidity reserves in order to make a profit at the cost of the investors who backed the venture.

DAOs are created using smart contracts, allowing members to vote on initiatives by simply owning tokens of the DAO.
As a result, decisions can be implemented from the ground up, making all transactions transparent and secure once it's broadcast to the blockchain.

1. Decentralization- Collective decision making
2. Participation - Anyone can join or create proposals
3. Publicity- All votes and transactions are public
4. Community- Working together for a common goal

2) The contract address that was advertised on the website at stablebnb.io was 0xfD53b1B4AF84D59B20bF2C20CA89a6BeeAa2c628. This had literally nothing to do with the contract or contracts people were depositing BNB into
3) 0x86530cadc1fcee6b61aa766ef70c0adbdca20a66 is the contract address that most people will be familiar with. When you deposit or stake in this contract you cannot withdraw. You can only take the interest earned which was 3% daily

First, we saw our favorite Rug Police Agent @0xLosingMoney do a post-mortem on what happened (here: )
In it he discovered the function in question: boostRewards.
Before this, it was likely that most non-devs wouldn't have known this was suspicious

One thing that sticks out to me though is that this was an OnlyOwner function.
So, I'd like to suggest to anyone looking at getting into a new protocol...consider looking at the contract and search for all of the "Only" functions.

Thought on @AzukiOfficial: I’m one of the unlucky one that who bought back Azuki a few hours before the floor crashed & Zagabond-gate. Did some research on his previous projects and decided to take L & sold my Azuki.
Someone took a screenshot of my listing and made fun of me papering my Azuki, that’s just showing that so many toxic people in the NFT space. Don’t forget who are the victims here, it’s the people who believed in Azuki & Zagabond. If you minted your Azuki then you are fine.
But let’s don’t forget that there are Azuki holders that who bought at 20, 25, 30eth+. We all know NFT is very high risk and Azuki could goes to 0eth tomorrow. If you are the people that who pointed your finger and laughed at ex-Azuki holders paperhanding then shame on you.

A (long) thread of my opinions (as the greatest predictor in history) on two main possible outcomes for the recent "hack" of the Ronin Bridge. #AxieInfinity #Rugpull @Jihoz_Axie
(1) 75% chance - Inside Job/Rug Pull:
In this case, one or more of the Axie team members planned out this attack and executed it like this on purpose.
In this case, one or more of the Axie team members planned out this attack and executed it like this on purpose.
This one objectively makes the most sense because there were 4 compromised private keys, which are virtually impossible to "hack" unless you have physical access to them. Additionally, the Axie team ignored confrontation about the hack and took all of 6 days to make any response.

An important part of vetting new projects is checking whether the liquidity pool is locked or not.
Many people are confused as to how to do this. So here's a thread on one way to check for yourself if a project's LP is locked.

First, it's important to understand WHY you want the liquidity pool to be locked.
If it's not, then the developers can literally cash in their LP tokens, leaving protocol tokens worthless.
There are two types of locks: time locks and multi-sig locks.

Multi-sig is good, but if all the actors on the multi-sig are bad actors, this doesn't do you much good.
The ideal scenario for a liquidity pool is a time lock. I think 12mo + is best, but many projects are starting to do 6mo.
