Interestingly, most developers and security auditors realize pretty quickly that there's nothing novel about smart contract exploits. Re-entrancy attacks, integer overflow/underflow, phishing schemes, signature replay vulnerabilities—these aren't new threats. They're well-documented vectors that have been around for years.

What strikes people is how little has actually changed. The major exploit categories remain largely the same. Sure, the implementations evolve and attack chains get more sophisticated, but genuinely new vulnerability types? Rare. The security landscape has been remarkably stable—which tells you something about how well we've mapped out the threat model.
