PANews, June 2 - According to CoinDesk, Wintermute pointed out that after the Ethereum Pectra upgrade went live with EIP-7702, a large number of malicious contracts named “CrimeEnjoyor” appeared, exploiting the mechanism that allows users to authorize wallet permissions to smart contracts, attempting to scan and transfer funds. However, the attackers have not made any profits so far. More than 97% of EIP-7702 authorizations point to the same replicated code, suspected to be an automated coin theft tool. The attackers invested about 2.88 ETH for 79,000 address authorizations, with the largest address handling over 52,000 authorizations, yet there have been no actual gains to date. Although this attack method has not been effective, it exposes security vulnerabilities in EIP-7702.
