The Harvest Keeper decentralized finance (DeFi) platform has reportedly conducted a rug pull scam on its users, stealing nearly $1 million worth of cryptoassets.
Harvest Keeper pulls the rug
Barely one month after launching what it claimed to be an innovative artificial intelligence-based (AI) DeFi platform that eliminates the human factor from crypto trading, Harvest Keeper has orchestrated a rug pull.
According to a March 19 tweet by blockchain security and analytics platform, CertiK Alert, it has been confirmed that the Harvest Keeper project is a complete scam, as its creators have drained large chunks of users’ assets.
The funds in the Harvest Keeper smart contract were drained via a privileged “getAmount” function that saw about $709,000 USDT transferred to an EOA 0x027c8 address controlled by the attackers, with another $219,000 stolen through ice phishing transactions across the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Ethereum and Polygon blockchains.
