๐ก๏ธ Can Blockchains Be Hacked? Letโs Clear It Up
๐ Ethereum wasnโt hacked.
The 2016 DAO incident was a smart contract flaw โ not a breach of Ethereum itself.
โ The network worked perfectly.
๐ A hard fork was used to fix the issue and protect users.
๐ฅ What actually gets hacked?
โ Centralized exchanges
โ Crypto wallets
โ Weak apps
๐ฏ Hackers go after places with real value and weak security โ not the blockchain itself.
๐ก Decentralized networks are much harder (and costlier) to hack than any single site or wallet.
