Black Hat Hacker

By: WEEX|2024/10/17 05:52:59

A black hat hacker is a cybercriminal who exploits vulnerabilities in computer systems, including those in blockchain networks, with malicious intent. In the crypto world, black hat hackers may exploit vulnerabilities in smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, or centralized exchanges to steal cryptocurrencies. These hackers often operate in contrast to "white hat hackers," who aim to identify and fix security issues before they can be exploited. An example of a black hat hacking event in crypto was the 2016 DAO hack on Ethereum, where an attacker exploited a flaw in the code to siphon off millions of dollars worth of Ether. Black hat hackers pose significant risks to the crypto ecosystem, which is why security audits and bug bounties are critical to protecting blockchain projects and their users.
