The funny part is that the exploit is in the “smart” contract, ya know the thing that the blockchain keeps secure by forbidding any updates or patches?

Yeah, it should not occur. I have never used one, so do not know exactly how it works. But I have not lost any crypto in the 10 years I have been using crypto.
