EOSBet Hacked — $236,000 Stolen
EOSBetCasino made en explanation about the nature and scale of a smart contract hack. Eventually, it causes a great deal of loss. According to the explanation made by them, they experienced a hack and breach of their bankroll. 44,427.4302 EOS had been stolen until their contracts were taken offline by their development team. However, 463,745 EOS in their EOSBETDICE11 and EOSBETCASINO are secured. There is no security issue and they are back online. They also added they they made this explanation to be open and make people have no doubt.
A flaw was exploited in the code. In this way, the hackers could bypass the esio.token ->transfer function. Consequently, their funds were not deposited to the smart contract. No payment was received from them when they lost. However, they could get real funds to their accounts every time they won. In other words, they were in a gamble that losing money was impossible.
The development team revealed the part of code that was vulnerable for inspection and they explained what they did and the reasons one by one. This explanation was liked by many users on Reddit. However, a group of users think that the team is not skillful enough. They also think that the third party auditors that were hired by them are also not enough referencing this statement: “Security issues are so important according to us. Third party auditors that we hired and our team revised our code extensively”.
Did a Third EOSBet Hack Occur?
This question has come to people’s minds. The reason is that a user on the same platform won $600,000 in a short time. The user easily doubled his money in a series of dice rolls in 36 hours. This was suspicious enough to call as a hack according to The Next Web. However, it was not a hack and the user won it with his luck according to the explanation that was made by EOSBet.
