Mobius Token Hack

TOTAL LOST $2.2M
Medium Arithmetic Overflow & Underflow Attacks bsc

What happened

On May 11, 2025, Mobius Token (MBU) on Binance Smart Chain suffered a suspicious incident involving an unverified contract, resulting in a loss of approximately $2.16 million. The nature of the event suggests it could be an exploit or a potential rug pull.

The attacker exploited an unverified contract that contained a critical miscalculation—an unintended surplus 1e18 multiplier—leading to massive inflation of MBU token supply. With only 0.001 BNB, the attacker minted over 9.7 quadrillion tokens due to faulty pricing logic. These tokens were immediately swapped for USDT, netting over $2.1 million.

Since the contract was unverified and deployed just days before the incident, combined with prior activity from the same funded wallet, the event raises strong suspicion of a premeditated rug pull rather than a purely technical exploit.
