Information on 2022 TinyMan Hack

bhaney44 · November 8, 2022, 10:29pm

I wanted to start a thread with information on the January 2022 TinyMan hack. I hadn’t seen any updates on this in a while, but I read the DOJ recently caught a Bitcoin hacker and seized over $3B in stolen assets.

Here is at least one of the TinyMan hackers addresses.

The exploit was carried out on several pools and is viewable in the transaction logs. The address was funded by a Binance account, so Binance would likely have the hackers information.

Please feel free to share any updates on prosecution efforts or any other information relating to the hack.

Good info, thanks. Hopefully the Foundation will use this info.

An additional ~5,600 Algo were siphoned from the Choice-Algo pool on TinyMan v1.0 in October. The attacker used an address funded with Algo from OKEX, which would have the hacker’s identity. The attacker also stole ~22,000 USDC from the TinyMan v1.0 USDC-ALGO pool.

It appears likely this hack was completed by someone with inside knowledge of the TinyMan v1.0 protocol. It’s important that @taylan address this issue because the TinyMan v1.0 protocol continues to be drained of funds and contains significant value. For example, the TinyMan v1.0 USDC-Algo pool still contains ~37,000 Algo. A strategy needs to be put together to recover existing funds from the TinyMan v1.0 protocol, which requires an independent audit.

Recent evidence has come to my attention regarding the TinyMan hack. As it turns out, TinyMan never provided Choice Coin users compensation for the hack as promised through their compensation program. I am working on solutions now. I included it in a Draft Report regarding the TinyMan Hack with proposed solutions for collaboration between PeraWallet, TinyMan, and Choice Coin.

Update

The TinyMan team and Hipo Labs team are still silent on a resolution. The two teams have completely failed to follow through as promised regarding the TinyMan compensation program for the v1.0 hack. They have continuously made false and misleading claims to users and have acted with complete disregard for ethics and the law.

I strongly advise against using the TinyMan platform, as security risks and illegal activity are on-going within the TinyMan protocol.

I wanted to include the TEAL code from the most recent attack on the v1.0 code.

Unfortunately, I still have ongoing security concerns regarding TEAL due to the lack of logical structure in the languages design. Typically, programming languages follow logical structures and object oriented methodologies. The problem with TEAL is that it appears to be randomly arranged sequences of bytecode. But, the TEAL documentation fails to explain the stack, any software execution methods, or the basic structure of the language.

funk · March 19, 2023, 11:54pm

TEAL uses assembly language syntax - it is not object oriented. That’s probably why you’re having trouble understanding it.

bhaney44 · March 20, 2023, 3:24pm

That’s true. I am not familiar with assembly language syntax. But, still TEAL seams to be very different than other examples of als on the Internet. There needs to be documentation for the basic structure and purpose of the parts of the code for developers to be able to learn and understand it.

Update

One of the malicious hacker addresses is still active and using several applications on Algorand.
