Isn't that also an open door to bad actors?

For sure, it's the same principles as the internet, and that unfortunately is why there are so many bad actors in the space.

There are companies and technologies being created to mitigate them just like how the internet spawned anti-(virus/spam/malware) companies. On the early internet with ActiveX, Flash, and few firewalls it was so easy to get exploited and this is the phase of DeFi we're in now, but it will get better over time.

Freedom always is.
Define bad actor.
