Here’s a concise list of common ways smart contracts get hacked:
1. Reentrancy Attacks: Repeatedly calling a function before the initial execution is complete.
2. Integer Overflow/Underflow: Arithmetic operations exceed variable limits causing unexpected behavior.
3. Unprotected Functions: Publicly accessible functions that should be restricted.
4. Timestamp Dependence: Using block timestamps for critical logic, which can be manipulated by miners.
5. Front-Running: Observing pending transactions and submitting higher gas fee transactions to be processed first.
6. Denial of Service (DoS): Overloading the contract with data or requests, making it unusable.
7. Contract Logic Errors: Mistakes in the code leading to unintended behavior.
8. Dependency on External Contracts: Relying on other contracts that may have vulnerabilities.
9. Unchecked Call Return Values: Not verifying the success of external calls.
10. Phishing Attacks: Tricking users into interacting with malicious contracts.
