Interpretation
Many DeFi applications are entirely controlled by a special key called the admin key. If compromised, hackers could use this key to effectively takeover the DeFi application controlled by the key via an admin key change. This would enable them to mint themselves large sums of the application's token, halt it altogether, censor users, or change the application in any arbitrary way.
Potential Root Causes
The admin was changed due to a planned operational/administrative change that coincided with a scheduled minting event.
The admin key was compromised: an attacker is now in control of it and is using this power to mint new units of the application's token.
