A fake job offer took down Axie Infinity

I think it's worth noting that the people did not sign off, only the keys did.

The system does not require people to sign off, but for the keys to sign off.

I don't think it's worth calling this a hack, the keys are what owned the moneies, and it's the keys that decided what to do with it. People have access to keys, they don't own them

Ok. So by your logic, my house keys owns my house?

But don’t I own my house keys too?

Your keychain owns your house keys.

It should be paying your mortgage, by the way.

This is a preposterous position. It's clearly a hack. Keys cannot legally own anything. People and organizations own things and in this case the people were hacked and the funds stolen.
