Mango Market: Exploit "Rug Pull" Mango Inu

 


A little over a week after the exploit at Mango Markets, where $117 million was stolen, Avraham Eisenberg is now bragging about making $100,000 from a "shitcoin" called Mango Inu. He claims again that he "didn't do anything wrong".


Eisenberg recently claimed responsibility for the exploit at DeFi platform Mango Markets. He claimed everything was "legal". 


 Eisenberg tweeted Oct. 23 that he also used a "shitcoin" called Mango Inu in the scheme to "exploit bots" that buy up newly issued tokens.


Eisenberg said the strategy involved deploying tokens, providing liquidity, and then once the bots bought the token, taking all the money out of the system. 


"I spoke to someone who stakes coins, provides liquidity and once the bots buy the token, takes all the money out of the system. That was a good strategy last year when the bots bought everything that moved," as he explained.


Similar to the Mango Markets exploit, Eisenberg countered any criticism by stating that since there was no promotion of the token, he had not broken any laws: 


"What part? Mango Inu is definitely not a security (no marketing etc.), no promises were made, just open market liquidity transactions."

Eisenberg said over $250,000 was “invested/gambled away” in the tokens in half an hour without being advertised. The fact that this has happened means "we're still so far off the ground."


He also specifically warned against buying the token because “if you buy it, you will definitely lose all your money.”


Pointless tokens keep coming out

The Mango Inu token is another example of a token that has seen questionable market acceptance lately, despite having no utility. Such a symptom usually occurs during bull markets.


Earlier this month, a memecoin called THE Token was launched in response to an Oct. 14th non-serious Twitter post by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin . Buterin said in the tweet to start a project that's easy to promote and it's just called The Protocol.


THE then launched right after Buterin's tweet on Ethereum and the BNB Smart Chain, up 77 percent by Oct. 20. Shortly thereafter, it has fallen again by 60 percent and is trading at $0.015 at the time of writing.

The token has been listed on exchanges such as Uniswap v3, MEXC Global and Bitget and appears to have no function other than to make fun of Vitalik Buterin's joke.


Blockchain cybersecurity company PeckShield has warned about this token.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
