🚨 $ETH EXPLOIT THROUGH EIP‑7702 DRIVES $2.5B LOSS! 💥
📊 The recent security incident leveraged the new EIP‑7702 execution‑code borrowing feature, turning a high‑value hot wallet into a transient contract that could dispatch funds with a single authorized signature. 🌊 By pre‑generating a batch of 50 valid signatures spanning nonces 18,914,775‑18,914,824, the attacker ensured immediate transaction finality the moment the next nonce surfaced.
⚡ In a single sweep, 167,464 ETH and roughly $1.6 Billion USDT were moved, followed by coordinated pulls of USDC from auxiliary wallets, exposing a systemic vulnerability in hot‑wallet orchestration. 📌 The episode underscores the trade‑off between on‑chain convenience and custodial risk, prompting a rethink of wallet architecture across major exchanges.
🤔 How should platforms recalibrate hot‑wallet designs to mitigate similar execution‑code exploits? 👇
