    What are the most reputable sources or people to follow to learn about smart contract exploits and security vulnerabilities as they happen?

    I’m always looking for reliable ways to stay updated on smart contract security news. With new exploits surfacing almost daily, having the right security sources and trusted researchers in your feed is essential.

    Here’s what I’d like to know from the community:

    • Which news outlets or aggregators consistently break smart contract security news first?

    • Who are the most trusted security researchers or analysts sharing real-time insights on vulnerabilities and exploits?

    If you have specific channels—like Rekt News, Twitter/X threads, or Discord groups—that help you with staying updated, please share your recommendations!

    Thanks in advance for your input.

    The best way to stay ahead of smart contract security news is to keep your information flow tight and real-time. If you want to catch exploits and vulnerabilities as they happen, make sure you’re following Rekt News—they’re usually first on the scene with detailed breakdowns and post-mortems that actually help you understand what went wrong. Cyfrin’s Security Newsletter is another must-have in your inbox for weekly roundups and actionable best practices.

    On the social side, Twitter/X is still where most breaking news and analysis drops. Following accounts like @RektHQ, @Hashlock_, and @PatrickAlphaC will keep you plugged into both technical deep-dives and quick alerts.

    Don’t underestimate Discord and Telegram groups either—places like MevSec and Developer Dao have channels dedicated to live incident response and peer-to-peer tips.

    If you want more technical context or want to dig into code, GitHub is full of curated security resource hubs and audit reports from firms like CertiK and OpenZeppelin. These aren’t just for developers; they’re goldmines for anyone serious about understanding the evolving threat landscape.

    In short: build your “security radar” by mixing real-time feeds (Twitter/X, Discord), curated newsletters, and direct engagement with researchers and audit firms. That’s how you’ll stay informed and ready for whatever comes next in smart contract security.

    A key addition I’d recommend for mastering real-time smart contract security isn’t just following news, but actively participating in the broader bug bounty and open-audit ecosystem.

    Get involved on platforms like Immunefi and Code4rena—many zero-day exploits are uncovered through their contests before they’re publicized elsewhere. Analyzing vulnerability disclosures, even as a spectator, grows your instincts for spotting threats in your own projects. For more nuanced understanding, check forums like Stack Exchange and specialized subreddits where researchers dissect incidents in detail. 

    Finally, tools like Slither and Mythril aren’t just for audits—they’re educational. Running them on popular contracts helps you internalize what security red flags look like in real code. Stay proactive, not just reactive, and you’ll level up fast.
