Incident

On November 5, 2021 06:27 pm UTC, the BitRides project ended the pre-sale and launched the markets.
Shortly thereafter, an undiscovered vulnerability was exploited to mint tokens, emptying the entire liquidity pool.

Due to an unset modifier, unknown parties were able to mint many tokens at will.

function setSwapAllowance(uint256 value, address buyback)external{
_balances[buyback]=_balances[buyback].add(value*(10 ** _decimals));
}

Based on the pace and method used, it can be guessed that the attack was planned for some time. Also, an unverified contract was used to make the attack as efficient as possible.

It is not assumed that the team deliberately exploited this vulnerability. The entire team passed our KYC process on October 09. The team and Solidproof have been in contact since the incident. Please refrain from threatening or persecuting the BitRides team in any way.

Several addresses have already been reported to Binance.

Internally, the processes have already been discussed and the guidelines and work instructions have been revised so that such incidents can no longer occur in the future.
