0/ After 95+ blockchain security audits, one truth stands out: The most dangerous vulnerabilities don't come from checklists, they lurk at the boundaries where systems interact. Here's what securing millions in assets has taught us:
🧵 DeFi Devs, take notes. Compound is one of the most battle-tested protocols out there — but even it wasn’t immune to smart contract risks. Let’s break down the biggest lessons from Compound’s security incidents — and what every DeFi team should learn 👇 https://t.co/zHvuuB7c7B
👀 Your last pen test passed. So why was there still a breach? Compliance checks a box. Attackers exploit what happens next. Verizon’s 2025 report shows a 34% spike in exploited vulnerabilities — most after audits. 🔁 It’s time to move beyond point-in-time testing. Only https://t.co/sLLyeVTYLL
Verizon's 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) reveals an 18% increase in cyber breaches and a 34% year-over-year rise in exploited vulnerabilities. Despite this, many organizations continue to rely heavily on compliance tools and point-in-time penetration tests, which attackers often circumvent. Experts emphasize the need for comprehensive offensive security training across all organizational levels, from analysts to executives, to better anticipate and defend against attacks. In the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, research indicates that protocols lacking publicly published audits face higher risks of failure. Analysis of security incidents, including those involving the widely used Compound protocol, highlights that the most critical vulnerabilities often emerge at system interaction boundaries rather than from checklist-based assessments. Industry specialists advocate for continuous self-assessment and transparency to enhance security and protect assets effectively.
