Beosin: SafeMoon attacker expresses willingness to communicate with team to return funds

According to the Beosin EagleEye security risk monitoring, early warning and blocking platform monitoring of the blockchain security audit company Beosin, the DeFi protocol SafeMoon attackers on the BNB Chain expressed their willingness to communicate with the SafeMoon team to return the funds through the chain message. SafeMoon was hacked seven hours after the upgrade, Beosin said, after previously reporting a $8.9 million loss to SafeMoon. After the upgrade, SafeMoon introduced a loophole to destroy tokens arbitrarily. The attacker first bought SafeMoon tokens, then burned the SafeMoon tokens to increase the price, and then sold the tokens to make a profit. The attacker is Mevbot, who preempted the attack transaction of 0xbcf5e30c164837b5d7c42fd7e33e47a0072dc014e7f0a67aa7710af49d0ce53b. Before today, this mevbot also preempted the attack on other projects including PolarBearX, Nuwa, DBALL, 520, etc., and the address has a record of interaction with CEX.
