On October 30th, ZeroDev founder Derek Chiang stated that the Binance hot wallet attack was unrelated to the security of the EIP-7702 protocol.

Derek Chiang cautioned that wallet and exchange developers should not expose EIP-7702 authorization signing or arbitrary message signing interfaces to third parties.
