⚔️ How Multi-Sigs Get Attacked

Multi-sig doesn't make you invincible—it just raises the bar. Attackers adapt. Instead of compromising one key, they target multiple signers, exploit coordination weaknesses, or find bugs in the contract itself. Understanding attack vectors is the first step to defending against them.

📊 Attack Statistics

70%
Multi-sig breaches from phishing/social engineering (human factor)
20%
From systematic key compromise (coordinated attacks on multiple signers)
8%
Insider attacks or collusion (trusted signers go rogue)
2%
Smart contract bugs (rare but catastrophic when they happen)

💡 Key Insight

The weakest link in multi-sig security is always human. Perfect threshold math (5-of-9) means nothing if 5 signers fall for the same phishing campaign. Real security requires: hardware wallets (no hot keys ever), transaction simulation before signing, voice confirmation for large transactions, geographic/organizational diversity, and continuous security training. Technology enables security, but operational discipline maintains it.
