🚨 $12.3M Gone: The Deadly "Address Poisoning" Trap
Even whales aren't safe. A wallet just lost 4,556 $ETH (~$12.3M) in seconds due to a sophisticated Address Poisoning scam.
How it happened:
The scammer monitored the victim's frequent transfers.
They generated a "vanity address" with the same first and last 4 characters as the victim's secondary wallet.
They "poisoned" the victim's history by sending tiny $0 transactions.
The victim copied the address from their recent history—not realizing it was the fake one.
🛑 Critical Safety Rules:
NEVER copy an address from your transaction history.
ALWAYS use the "Address Book" or "Whitelist" feature on Binance.
VERIFY every single character, especially the middle ones.
TEST with a small amount if you are moving life-changing money.
Don't let your next transfer be a donation to a scammer. Stay vigilant! 🛡️
