Ivan, thanks for all of the great, educational content!

I wanted to ask if you've looked into any of the Ethereum security vulnerabilities as identified by Talos and the Parity lockup?
It seems to me that a smart contract audit is in order for every erc20 token out there - just as good form. Especially after this news came out last week:
https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/8xddka/millions-of-dollars-in-ethereum-are-vulnerable-to-hackers-right-now-smart-contract-bugs

To date, none of the token creators or companies I've contacted have replied to my concerns - which makes me wonder if this isn't worse than is already acknowledged. The flip side, of course, is that it is a non-issue, and the following headlines are just click bait & FUD:

Of course, anyone with assets locked away due to the Parity bungle, would scoff at the "non-issue" claim:

Any clarity you can add to the situation is greatly appreciated, Ivan! The Talos vulnerability reports can be found by typing Ethereum into the search bar, here: https://talosintelligence.com/vulnerability_reports/#disclosed
