The most misleading phrase in crypto security may also be the most familiar one. A smart contract can execute exactly as written and still become part of a theft. If you wonder how, have you considered that the code may never be the part that breaks? We blame smart contracts (the code), but the real vulnerability is the humans running the project. Attackers aren’t finding brilliant math flaws; they are tricking a founder into clicking a bad link, stealing their computer’s access keys, and altering the app from the inside. Yet once funds move on-chain, these failures often get flattened into the same headline category. Yep, you guessed it right – A DeFi hack!
