Inferno Drainer uses Ethereum's EIP-7702 to implement a new attack, causing a single loss of $150,000

PANews reported on May 26 that according to Beincrypto, the blockchain security platform Scam Sniffer disclosed that the well-known phishing organization Inferno Drainer recently used Ethereum's EIP-7702 upgrade feature to implement a new type of attack, which has caused a single loss of $150,000. EIP-7702 is a key part of the Pectra upgrade, which allows externally owned accounts (EOA) to temporarily act as smart contract wallets during transactions, and attackers perform batch token transfer operations through authorized MetaMask wallets.

Yu Xian, founder of SlowMist Technology, pointed out that this attack marks an upgrade of phishing tactics: attackers no longer hijack wallets directly, but use the "execute" command to perform malicious batch authorization in the background. Security experts recommend that users regularly check the token authorization status and use tools such as Etherscan to verify whether the wallet has been maliciously entrusted.
