That said, users will probably remain at risk until their wallet (or associated firewall) has the same address book and can properly defend against these attacks prior to signing transactions, e.g. https://twitter.com/militereum/status/1777581075285365100

I have a dream that we can all agree on a standardized interchange format for web3 address books (maybe a CAIP or something), and then portfolio trackers, wallets, wallet firewall extensions, and other address books can all share the same data privately. @lefteris.eth

Well that dream got fulfilled very quickly: just remembered about https://tokenlists.org/ which somehow I had completely forgotten. Admittedly it was probably designed only with public addresses in mind, but I'm guessing it's already a near perfect fit for an interoperable standard for private address books too.

I have a similar dream tempered with concerns for the health of the system, stemming from observations such as:

1. Privacy and information security are distinct
2. Short-term self-interest isn't always aligned with system-interest and so long-term self-interest
3. Digital identities don't work like human identity.
