ATO vs crypto theft

victim reports account compromise. case A is ato: credential stuffing, SIM swap, mailbox rules, and identity-provider session anomalies. case B is crypto-theft: approve-for-all tx, sweeper bot, or malicious dapp in browser history. wrong call sends you to okta-log-analyzer when you need ethereum-tx-decoder — or resets passwords while the on-chain approval already moved funds.

case a

account takeover (ATO)

credential stuffing → SIM swap → password reset chain → exfil. evidence lives in identity-provider logs, mailbox rules, and session artifacts.

editorial overlap

2 tools mapped to both case types in the editorial taxonomy — useful when the investigation spans both surfaces.

lean toward…

disambiguation signals derived from case-type descriptions and common practitioner confusion points.

lean toward ATO if you see…

  • password spray, SIM swap, or MFA bypass in Okta/Entra logs before downstream wallet activity
  • mailbox rule planting or session takeover from new geo/device on email identity
  • compromise centered on login telemetry — not standalone malicious contract interaction in browser history

lean toward crypto theft if you see…

  • approve-for-all or unlimited token approval in single on-chain transaction
  • sweeper bot or malicious smart-contract bytecode linked from browser/extension history
  • wallet drain via phishing signature or dapp — IdP logs clean or secondary to chain event
