The Harvest Keeper dApp has proven to be a strong bridge, with the team stealing around $1 million in users’ funds. The project claimed to use AI to offer high returns for investors.
Reports are surfacing that AI-based dApp Harvest Keeper is a rag pull scam. Several crypto security firms, including CertiK, have tweeted that the project has pulled the rug out, giving away nearly $1 million. The companies are asking people not to interact with any of the project’s URLs.
CertiK said that the Harvest Keeper contract was terminated by the privileged getAmount function, which transferred over $700,000 in USDT to one address. It was also discovered that users’ assets were stolen through ice phishing transactions on BSC, Ethereum, and Polygon. In this way, about $ 219,000 was stolen.
Ice phishing is a type of attack in Web 3 where users are tricked into manually signing in and approving permissions. De.Fi’s security division also asked users to cancel smart contract approvals as soon as possible.
The Rag Pull is another scam to hit the market, which continues to have its reputation damaged by such incidents. AI-mania has somewhat taken over the crypto market, with many related projects seeing strong growth. It appears that Harvest Keeper was taking advantage of this.
What is Harvest Keeper?
Describing itself as “an innovative project based on artificial intelligence, Harvest Keeper claims to use AI, which completely eliminates the human factor from trading, creating an opportunity to make profits 24 hours a day.” It happens.”
The project told users that they can earn daily rewards of 4.81% with 101% investment in three weeks.
Specifically, Harvest Keeper claims users can access an automated trading system that offers high efficiency. The project advertises itself as a platform that can help users in turbulent market conditions.
Users are desperate to get their money back
The crypto community is naturally angry at the development, along with some seeking for Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance, to help. Others have also warned not to click on any links that Harvest Keeper allegedly helps them with.
There is no evidence yet about the identity of the attacker. But that may be changing as the theft was recent. In any case, users will struggle to get their money back, a common theme running through the market as it goes through a number of negative events.
