Day 53 #Web3Security ⚡️ What's a Flash Loan Attack? 💸 Attackers borrow huge funds (no collateral!), manipulate a protocol's price oracle, and profit—all in one single transaction. Using DeFi protocols with robust oracles (like @chainlink) helps protect against this type of exploit. BM 🤖

Day 52 #Web3Security ⚡️ Beware of Honeypot Scams! 🍯 These malicious contracts let you deposit crypto, but the code makes it impossible for YOU to ever withdraw. 😱 Be wary of new, unaudited dApps. Check for successful withdrawals from others on a block explorer. GM 🍯
