Definition ∞ A signing flow breach occurs when an unauthorized party gains control over the process by which a digital signature is generated and applied to a transaction. This allows an attacker to approve and execute transactions without the legitimate owner’s consent. Such a breach compromises the security of digital assets and user accounts. It represents a critical security vulnerability.
Context ∞ In the digital asset world, a signing flow breach can lead to the direct theft of cryptocurrencies or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) from user wallets or platform accounts. News reports often detail how phishing attacks, malware, or compromised software can facilitate such breaches, underscoring the constant threat to digital asset security. Implementing multi-factor authentication and hardware wallets are common recommendations to prevent these types of attacks.
