Understanding the Pattern Behind Billion-Dollar Losses

The most expensive crypto hacks are not random. They cluster around repeating vulnerability patterns: access-control failures, flash-loan manipulation, oracle abuse, and unsafe external calls. Studying large-loss incidents helps security researchers prioritize high-impact threat models first.
