So far Kokomo Finance lost $5.5M in total: crypto exit scam

Kokomo finance lost $5.5 million in total, because of a malicious developer(s) who exploited the implementation contract.

Kokomo finance is an averagely known Defi protocol in the crypto sector. As per reports, an unscrupulous developer misused the contracts Key, which is s essential in the execution of various DeFi functions. 

In between 26 March to 1 April, suspicious developers or say exploiters drained $5.5 million worth of crypto assets. 

Many experts claimed that it is only the backend team, as the official Twitter account of this project has been either deleted or deactivated, a Crypto security firm noted.

KOKO, the native token of the Kokomo finance, plunged badly, as the price graph is showing.
