According to BlockBeats, Wintermute warns that the EIP-7702 feature in the Ethereum Pectra upgrade is being maliciously abused, with over 80% of authorizations used for automated attacks. Scam Sniffer detected that users lost nearly $150,000 due to phishing attacks, with attackers using a contract named 'CrimeEnjoyor' to drain compromised wallets.
EIP-7702 was proposed by Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin to enhance user experience, but it has been abused for malicious contracts. Wintermute's Dune dashboard shows that most authorizations flow to malicious contracts. Security experts point out that EIP-7702 makes draining addresses easier.
BlockBeats previously reported that Slow Mist founder Yu Xian stated that the biggest users of EIP-7702 are coin theft gangs, with over 97% of delegations pointing to theft contracts.
