Lobstar Wilde AI crypto agent sends 52.4M LOBSTAR tokens to a random user
Preliminary Why: Only a republished copy: Yahoo Finance · subject to change
Status: no action reported
No source states: loss or records, developer and model, agent tool, could do, deployer, industry.
Severity moderate: test: tokens of others (the recipient) were touched, with a bounded scope stated as 5% of the total token supply
An autonomous AI agent, Lobstar Wilde, was running a Solana wallet when it was asked, as a joke, for 4 SOL. A session reset had wiped its memory of prior allocations. On February 22, 2026 it sent 52.4M LOBSTAR tokens, about 5% of the total supply, to a random user instead of a small donation. The source attributes the error to a parsing mistake, where the agent likely confused token decimals with raw integer values, and calls it a guardrail failure. The recipient sold into thin liquidity, walked away with roughly $37K to $40K, then reportedly put around $25K into a new token that collapsed. The source reports the original holding ended at roughly $6K. The sources state no remediation.
