What happened

From the project's Twitter publication:

"A malicious attacker has just utilized $TSD DAO to mint 11.8 billion tokens to his own account and sold all to Pancakeswap. Here is what happened:

  1. Due to long Debt phase, people unbond from DAO because they no longer have rewards from expansion..
  2. Dev account has only 9% of the DAO. We failed once when proposing the Implementation to enable the crosschain bridge. In this case, Dev account does not have enough stack to vote against the attacker.
  3. What has been done by him? He gradually bought $TSD at low price to accumulate until he has more than 33% of the DAO. Then he proposed an Implementation and voted for it. Because he possess enough stack to finish the voting process, the Implementation went through successfully

In the Implementation, the attacker added code to mint for himself 11.8 billion $TSD. Then he sold all of the tokens to Pancakeswap. That's sad, it is an attack but it is how a decentralized DAO works.

Actually, the attacker minted 11.5 quintillion $TSD, not 11.8 billion. He sold 11.8 billion $TSD to Pancakeswap though ->"
