D. Ortiz

Digital Forensics Specialist · Smart Contract Auditing · DeFi Security · Penetration Testing

D. Ortiz started as an investigative journalist covering financial crime in Latin America, then moved into DeFi security research after watching friends lose savings to a rug pull in 2021. That experience — seeing real people hurt by schemes that could have been spotted with basic on-chain analysis — drove Ortiz to learn smart contract auditing and penetration testing. At CryptoKiller, Ortiz authors long-form investigation reports that break down complex exploits into language everyday investors can follow. Ortiz covers rug pulls, token exploits, wallet drainers, and flash loan attacks, with a focus on consumer protection and regulatory gaps. Ortiz has published over 167 investigations.
