Autheo native token THEO lost 92% of its value following an unauthorized mint of 19 million tokens on the Base network.
Security lesson:
1. Always check official project channels before trading tokens that show sudden, unexplained price spikes or crashes.
2. Be wary of liquidity pools with low total value locked, as they can be easily manipulated during exploits.
3. If a project advises pausing all transactions, immediately stop buying, selling, or bridging the asset.
4. Verify that the token contract address matches the official source provided by the project team.
The exact root cause of how the mint was authorized is still under investigation by the project.
