In this video, we break down the key differences between two of the most common types of attacks in the digital asset ecosystem.

🔹 In a crypto exploit, the target is the technology itself such as smart contracts or bridges
🔹 Exploits typically involve attacking the code or design of a system in a highly targeted way
🔹 These attacks are very technical and often require sophisticated expertise
🔹 In contrast, crypto scams focus on people, using deception, lies, and social engineering

Crypto exploits often involve activities such as flash loans, bridge hacks, or oracle manipulation.

Crypto scams, on the other hand, include rug pulls, phishing scams, Ponzi schemes, and romance scams often referred to as pig butchering scams.
