The current state of software supply chain and operational security for web-based wallets is quite low, and clever adversaries have their pick of many weak points to target, such as dependency takeover, domain spoofing, and smart contract bug-hunting. This situation is not unique to the cryptocurrency or blockchain sector, but rather a result of the way the web application stack has been developed, and can only be fixed in the long-term by a concerned, coordinated effort to properly sandbox code (such as Agoric’s SES effort), perform end-user behavioral verification of both application and contract code, and use naming systems without such central points of attack. Individuals should take care when using any software, especially software which manages critical data or financial transactions, and practice defence-in-depth to limit their exposure to bugs in any particular application.
