Grifters rug over 60 ETH from spoof token created after Binance exploit
Malicious players have robbed over 60 ETH from tokens created shortly after the Binance smart chain exploit. The token was first spotted by Lorem, who claims that Binance hackers created the rugged token.
After the hack of $1/600 million BNB, we have seen some shadow supercoder supervillain tactics on the ETH mainnet.Minutes after the initial hack, the hacker created his BNBHACKERINU token and smashed it two hours later

According to the available information, the BNBHACKERINU token had Binance’s exploit address as the lead deployer and its contract was weak.
Lorem tweeted that the token contract allows “holders to take BNBHACKINU tokens from any owner’s wallet and transfer them to any wallet.” He went on to say that hackers issued over 1,000 trillion of his tokens.
According to Dexscreener data, the short-lived token had a trading volume of $82,000.
Meanwhile, on-chain investigator ZachXBT says that Binance abusers did not create the token. According to him, the token was “created by someone masquerading as an abuser. It happens after most major exploits.”
The exploiters didn’t create it. It’s literally just someone impersonating you to look like an abuser. Occurs after most major exploits. https://t.co/GJni9Vq48d
