ProjectX Hack
What happened
ProjectX has been rugpulled by the token creator. The token creator minted 1M $PXT tokens which were distributed among several addresses that dumped the token price taking profits of ~$28K.
ProjectX was a nodes as a service project promising passive income to its holders.
The creator of the contract, deployed the token contract into the network and minted himself 1M $PXT (https://snowtrace.io/tx/0xf9cb648f…299dd5).
Then, 1M$PXT tokens were sent to the scam address (B) in this transaction (https://snowtrace.io/tx/0x07ca8447…47ea97)
The team opened a liquidity pool on Trader Joe, where the liquidity with a profit of 584 $WAVAX was ultimately removed
(https://snowtrace.io/tx/0xc674da82…48d4b9).
At the time of this writing funds are partly located at this address (https://snowtrace.io/address/0x9c02ac14…1151fa). The scammer address (D) received 500K $PXT tokens from scammer address (C), and swapped the tokens to 911.21 $WAVAX in these two transactions:
Token contract address: https://snowtrace.io/address/0x9adcbba4…14cafd
