Smart contract safety / ownership renounced

Hello all, I am very very new in crypto / blockchain / smart contracts.

Well, I want to invest in a token which is on bnbchain for more than 1 year, having already >100K holders and already listed on some of the main exchanges. it turned to be a community owned token. Its ownership has been renounced and the contract has been sent to dead address just after its creation (by mistake?). Nobody knows its creator and It is said that the contract can not be modified anymore because it has been sent to dead address.

  • Contract can be modified by its creator in the future even it has been sent to dead address?
  • Ownership can be transfered to a new owner in the future and he can increase the total supply, can transfer the burned tokens to his wallet etc even the ownership currently looks to be renounced?

Here are the ownerships functions in the contract, do they look to be safe?

* @dev Contract module which provides a basic access control mechanism, where
 * there is an account (an owner) that can be granted exclusive access to
 * specific functions.
 *
 * By default, the owner account will be the one that deploys the contract. This
 * can later be changed with {transferOwnership}.
 *
 * This module is used through inheritance. It will make available the modifier
 * `onlyOwner`, which can be applied to your functions to restrict their use to
 * the owner.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH,

Hi, welcome to the community! :wave:

I think you can share the contract address at here if possible. So we can find more details.

@sergio79
As I checked your contract codebase, you lose ownership forever.
Only owner address can call contract function(of course write function).
Currently, ownership was transferred to 0x0000...0(dead address).
This can't be recovered and nobody can't get ownership now.
My opinion is like above.
Best regards.
