From my understanding, a whale's wallet was compromised (phished/smart contract exploit)
Then, he acquired a flash loan from AAVE to borrow liquidity and using an exploited wallet, minting PT/YTs (legitimately but with stolen money).
Protocol wasn't exploited $PENDLE
On Pendle, you can mint PTs and YTs by depositing staked ETH.
So minting on $PENDLE is normal but people are associating it with the minting of excessive tokens you see in rug pulls when smart contracts are exploited
