Read the Smart Contract Best Practicespage thoroughly.
The following code has a critical security vulnerability that can be exploited to hijack the contract and steal its ether. Find the vulnerability and then thoroughly explain 1) how an attacker can exploit it and 2) how the contract can be fixed to patch the vulnerability. Submit as a Word document, text file, or PDF through Blackboard.
