SlowMist Yu Xian: The EIP-7702 Mechanism Has No Flaws; The Binance Hacker Only Leveraged It to Achieve Bulk Token Theft
The technical clarification for the recent Binance-related hot wallet token theft incident has been officially released<p>SlowMist founder Yu Xian explicitly stated that the Ethereum EIP-7702 mechanism itself has no security issues. The core purpose for the hacker to select this mechanism in this attack is solely to simplify the operational process of bulk sweeping tokens from Binance-associated hot wallets.</p><p>On-chain retrospective data shows that the hacker's overall operation logic is relatively crude. Before launching the actual token theft, the hacker spent several hours conducting drills and preparations for related operations, and did not complete the attack by exploiting native vulnerabilities of EIP-7702.</p><p>Yu Xian also emphasized that even without the EIP-7702 mechanism, this hacker group could fully complete similar token theft operations through other existing technical paths. The root risk of this incident is not a design flaw in the Ethereum mechanism itself.</p>
