Attackers could have stolen the funds without EIP-7702, Ido Ben-Natan, Blockaid’s co-founder and CEO, told Cointelegraph on Friday.
“The 7702 upgrade is a way to do this in one sweep and maybe a way to bypass some sort of checks they may have,”
VEER later said the Binance attack appeared broader than a single malicious signature, but that EIP-7702 gave attackers “a handy sweep button on Ethereum.”
Ivo Georgiev, co-founder and CEO of Ethereum wallet provider Ambire, said that EIP-7702 made little difference to the attack because the hackers already had the ability to authorize transactions.
“The takeaway is that ultimately the signer signed a transaction that they shouldn’t have,” he said.
Ben-Natan said attackers may have used a compromised developer’s computer to gain access to Binance’s wallet-signing infrastructure.
He said attackers could have drained the funds through other methods, but warned that exchange engineers might overlook the need to revoke a malicious EIP-7702 delegation after regaining control of their systems.
“This is a problem with EIP 7702, it’s just very, very poorly understood,” Georgiev said.
Ben-Natan warned that similar signing-system attacks threaten other exchanges and said transaction simulation could help detect malicious requests before they receive approval.
