User Loses $354,000 in a Blink, Falls Victim to Sophisticated "Address Poisoning" Trap
The crypto community has just received another costly lesson in wallet security: one moment of negligence during a transfer, and over 354.000 USDT worth of assets vanished into thin air.
🔸 According to a warning from Web3 Antivirus, a victim just had 354,000 USDT stolen.
🔸 The hacker used an "Address Poisoning" scam. They created a wallet address with the exact same starting and ending characters as the address the victim frequently transacts with, then sent a small amount or zero value token to the victim's wallet, causing this fake address to appear in their transaction history.
🔸 Due to the habit of conveniently copying an address from old transaction history without thoroughly checking the entire character string, the victim inadvertently sent the entire large sum directly to the scammer's wallet.
This is a wakeup call against the "Copy-Paste" habit of many users. Do you meticulously verify every single character of a wallet address before hitting send, or do you just glance at the first and last few digits?
