Ethereum Yield Hack
What happened
The project was holding token sales using 2 smart contracts:
https://etherscan.io/address/0x052cd742…f6bf5b#internaltx
https://etherscan.io/address/0x28a34597…553203#internaltx
The major and final Ether recipient, raised on the presale, was the Ethereum Yield deployer:
https://etherscan.io/tx/0xd4f0e4fd…d76450
https://etherscan.io/tx/0xbc4d09d8…8a4c01
https://etherscan.io/tx/0x45f56a33…f29e96
In total, the Ethereum Yield deployer received 3,100 ETH.
The contract deployer used 700 ETH to add the initial liquidity into the ETH / ETHY pair:
https://etherscan.io/tx/0x3a0f9586…fb75ce
This liquidity was locked till 01.01.2100 at:
https://etherscan.io/tx/0xaa6aab75…77a36b
The contract deployer used 1,000 ETH to add the initial liquidity into the ETH / ETHYS pair:
https://etherscan.io/tx/0xfed11e4b…0b0082
However, the liquidity wasn't locked and the contract deployer removed it multiple times at:
