[[File:Boostertoken.jpg|thumb|BoosterToken]]The BoosterToken project swapped their front-end for a malicious front-end after getting a CertiK audit, enabling them to steal at least 120 BNB. Anyone who fell for the migration code on the website had their entire wallet drained of any funds. The website is presently offline and it does not appear that any recovery is likely.

This is a global/international case not involving a specific country.

== About BoosterToken ==
"Booster Token is a decentralized financial payment network that rebuilds the traditional payment stack on the blockchain. It utilizes a basket of fiat-pegged stablecoins, algorithmically stabilized by its reserve currency BOOSTER, to facilitate programmable payments and open financial infrastructure development. As of December 2020, the network has transacted an estimated $299 billion for over 2 million users."

"Bought a couple hundred dollars worth. This coin is awesome. Hasn't even been 24 hours. Sounds like a great project. Enjoy the moon, early buyers!"

"A malicious frontend code was injected into @BoosterToken to mislead users into transferring the balance to an EOA (Booster Team). The rugpull happened in the frontend, not from the smart contract."

"The total loss is now ~ 120 BNB."

"This is not the Old booster account they deleted it and I took the @ we are investigating to see who was behing this attack... Revoke access to booster on BSC" "DONT MIGRATE ANYTHING ON THE WEBSITE IT WILL DRAIN YOUR ACCOUNT" "[T]hey are not just rug pulling they are stealing other tokens." "[T]hey took all I had in my wallet."

This is a global/international case not involving a specific country.

The background of the exchange platform, service, or individuals involved, as it would have been seen or understood at the time of the events.

Include:

* Known history of when and how the service was started.
* What problems does the company or service claim to solve?
* What marketing materials were used by the firm or business?
* Audits performed, and excerpts that may have been included.
* Business registration documents shown (fake or legitimate).
* How were people recruited to participate?
* Public warnings and announcements prior to the event.

Don't Include:
* Any wording which directly states or implies that the business is/was illegitimate, or that a vulnerability existed.
* Anything that wasn't reasonably knowable at the time of the event.
There could be more than one section here. If the same platform is involved with multiple incidents, then it can be linked to a main article page.

== The Reality ==
This sections is included if a case involved deception or information that was unknown at the time. Examples include:

* When the service was actually started (if different than the "official story").
* Who actually ran a service and their own personal history.
* How the service was structured behind the scenes. (For example, there was no "trading bot".)
* Details of what audits reported and how vulnerabilities were missed during auditing.

== What Happened ==
The specific events of the loss and how it came about. What actually happened to cause the loss and some of the events leading up to it.

== Total Amount Recovered ==
There do not appear to have been any funds recovered in this case.

What funds were recovered? What funds were reimbursed for those affected users?

== Ongoing Developments ==
What parts of this case are still remaining to be concluded?

== Prevention Policies ==
This type of case could be solved by any sort of registration or accountability for project teams.
