A ZachXBT researcher has identified a group of scammers attempting to scam new users through Leaper Finance's DeFi liquidity protocol on the L2 network Blast.
According to the research, the attackers were involved in several rug pull cases, including Magnate ($6.4 million), Kokomo ($4 million), Solfire ($4.8 million) and Lendora projects. The group is also believed to be linked to fraud on Hash DAO, Glori Finance and ZebraDAO. Damages from the fraudulent activities are estimated at $20 million.
On their X Leaper Finance account, they expressed admiration for the work of ZachXBT and acknowledged the connection to North Korean hackers Lazaru. After that, they deleted their accounts and disabled the projects' websites.
