Autheo's THEO token loses 92% after suspected bridge exploit despite three audits

Autheo's THEO token had been reviewed by Halborn, CertiK and Avelar Labs, but on October 13, 2026 a suspected bridge exploit allowed 19 million unauthorized tokens onto Base. THEO's price dropped from about $0.08 to around $0.006 within a day, and the attacker reportedly swapped the minted tokens for roughly 700.8 ETH, worth about $1.76 million, though that figure hasn't been confirmed on-chain. Autheo has told users to avoid buying, selling or bridging THEO while it investigates.
