What's your point exactly ? And also, why do you have your address on this post? Firstly from the very first parts of you post is vaguely seemed like your were talking about vulnerabilities on the bitcoin blockchain, infact your title seemed to be saying the same thing too at first. Anyways the fact is hacking , phishing as well as many other methods of stealing or scamming people of funds will constantly improve just like security improves too. The nicest move is to be very careful and constantly remain updated too, and if possible keep your keys, KYC details, and coins away from the internet as much as you can.

For the aspect of dust attacks I think to prevent a that one thing you can possibly do is not make your addresses public and also make use of a standard HD wallet to make your transactions more private.
I understand you, but we must not forget that even if security improves, Bitcoin vulnerabilities are still a big concern. My post talks about the evolution of threats between 2023 and 2024, with things like dusting attacks and mining pool manipulations that show that hackers are still on the case. Keeping your keys and information offline is good, but it's not enough to avoid the new vulnerabilities that are coming. The community must remain vigilant and understand these vulnerabilities to better defend itself, because Bitcoin security depends on all of us.

In 2023, the security problems on Bitcoin were mainly attacks on wallets and exchanges. Hackers did crazy things with phishing, malware, and schemes to get people's private keys. In addition, there were some bugs in the code that let vulnerabilities slip through, but don't worry, that was quickly fixed with updates.

In 2024, that changed. We saw vulnerabilities that took advantage of the fact that the Bitcoin network was somewhat anonymous. "Dusting" attacks exploded, where guys sent small amounts of BTC to try to track users. Mining pools were hot too, with attempts to pool hashing power to control part of the network and tamper with transactions. As a result, cybersecurity pros rolled up their sleeves to protect users and keep the network decentralized.

 For me, these 2024 flaws show that securing Bitcoin is really not easy. Threats change all the time, it forces the community to always be on its guard. But it also proves that Bitcoin is holding strong, because despite all that, the network is still there. For those who want to invest, it is super important to follow these developments and use secure wallets, especially offline, to avoid hassles.
