EIP-7702 asset theft risk was warned by developers two years ago.

BlockBeats news, October 30 - Regarding the Binance hack incident, some views suggest that hackers may have exploited the Ethereum EIP-7702 mechanism to control wallets and transfer funds. X user 0xVEER stated that developer 0xjustadev warned about "this situation" during the EIP-7702 discussions about two years ago.

In October 2024, in the discussion thread on the Ethereum community forum for EIP-7702 (Set EOA account code), a developer pointed out that current phishing tactics mostly revolve around EIP-712 signatures, which have decent readability and are relatively easy to simulate, while this proposal could allow attackers to transfer all valuable assets, including native tokens, through signatures that are less readable and harder to simulate, and expressed concern that wallets might therefore adopt highly centralized contract signature whitelists, representing a regression in security and decentralization.

Currently, whether this incident is indeed related to EIP-7702 has not been officially confirmed by Binance; the above content is solely community opinion.
