The delegate, who plays a crucial role in the MakerDAO system, was tricked into signing multiple phishing signatures, leading to the loss of their digital assets. This incident highlights the growing trend of "approval phishing" in the crypto space, where victims are duped into signing transactions that grant scammers access to their wallets.
