CertiK, a blockchain security company, confirmed that the platform stole around $933,000 in assets. Users also lost $219,000 as a result of “cold phishing.” This is the technique by which attackers deceive users into signing an approval to use a cryptocurrency wallet, granting full access to funds.
CertiK urged users to revoke all permissions granted to the project. The company warned users to stop interacting with the scammers’ website.
Harvest Keeper claimed to use AI to optimise trading processes. The platform promised 101% return on investment within 21 days and an 8% referral reward.
The project has nearly 30,000 followers on Twitter and more than 32,000 subscribers on its Telegram channel.
