Trusta AI (TA) Tokens became the target of liquidity pool exploits just hours after assets launched on Binance Alpha. The TA slides as the attacker staged a fake liquidity pool.
BlockSec Phantom intercepted a worrying forwarding from an unknown smart contract in BNB Smart Chain as it appears that the Trusta Ai Tokens are crashing due to a smart contract attack.
The contract resulted in a series of TA token transactions, with initial losses estimated at around $600,000. After the initial attack, the loss halted at around $615,000.
The investigators were unable to determine the exact content of the contract, as it was not open source. BlockSec Phantom advises BNB Smart Chain users to revoke their permission for a defective contract. The wallet may remain exposed and other assets may be emitted until the permit is revoked.

The attack came just a day after the launch of TA trading, with the token reaching a trading volume of $63 million as the latest Binance Alpha selection.
Trusta Ai was attacked by Rogue Smart Contract
According to Certik, the attacker created two smart contracts that triggered Trusta AI transactions, allowing users to pay exorbitant fees. The attackers then swapped the TA in a legal liquidity pool. The fraudulent contract was generated two days ago Credited for just 0.3 bnb.
As a result, Ta sank to $0.09, with the initial price dropping from $0.17. Tokens are still early price discovery, and it is unclear how much of the sale was due to misuse and what the sale arose from the recipients of the early TGE tokens.

Trusta AI has just been launched as part of the Binance Alpha program for selected tokens. That is, most of the affected users were small owners with independent wallets.
Token recipients can pre-approve the contract and use the TA
The main issue with the Trusta AI exploit was access to pre-approved contracts. As a result, the tokens were collected from independent wallets.
Apparently, the TA recipients had approved the contract address in advance. The exploit also affected WBNB tokens and sold at unfair rates via malicious liquidity pools.
As a result of fraudulent transactions, Trusta AI had different price ranges in different versions. The base TA was still trading at $0.14, but in the BNB Smart chain, the assets remained at a low level of $0.09. The first attack account then simply retracted the allowed tokens.

The affected wallets have previously approved the specific token. Therefore, not all assets have been affected. Pre-approved tokens are a common feature of the BNB chain, making token swaps and lending faster. Unnetworking permissions to smart contracts for automated trading can quickly become dangerous.
The BNB chain and Trusta AI are just as secure as the TA token. Immediately after the attack, some of the TA pair recovers and pushes the token high $0.23. For now, there is no mention of freezing tokens or trying to undo transactions.
