Smart Contract Exploit

A smart contract exploit occurs when attackers take advantage of vulnerabilities or bugs in blockchain-based smart contracts to steal funds or manipulate outcomes. These exploits can drain liquidity or disrupt decentralized applications. Because smart contracts are automated and immutable, flaws can lead to significant financial losses before fixes or patches can be implemented.
