Incident Overview
Smurfs Coin was rugpulled by the deployer, draining liquidity worth 365,524 $USD from the UniSwap pool.
Smurfs Coin, an ERC20 token, experienced an exit scam as its deployer sold approximately 80 billion $SMURFS tokens for 186.47 $ETH, equating to around 365,524 $USD, thus draining all the liquidity from the UniSwap pool. A part of the stolen funds was then swapped for 218,943 $USDT, while the remaining was kept as $ETH. All the funds are currently located in the scammer's original EOA address.

What Auditors Should Check
If you're auditing a protocol with similar architecture to Smurfs Coin, these are the critical security checks that could have prevented this incident (June 2023).
- Verify all logic paths related to Rugpull are guarded by proper access controls and input validation
- Review privileged functions (owner, admin, governance) for potential abuse vectors - centralization risks should be documented and bounded with timelocks or multi-sigs
