đš SECURITY ALERT: ADDRESS POISONING SCAM đš
A crypto user reportedly lost $450,000 in tBTC after accidentally sending funds to a fake look-alike wallet address pulled from their transaction history. No hacks, no malware, no leaked keys â just one moment of inattention.
â Wallet not compromised
â Private keys safe
â Funds lost due to a deceptive address copy-paste
This is a classic address poisoning attack: scammers send tiny transactions from addresses that closely resemble ones youâve used before, hoping youâll copy the wrong address later. The exploit targets human behavior, not wallet security.
đ Key takeaway: Always verify the entire wallet address before confirming any transfer â never rely on partial matches or recent history.
