One Copy-Paste⊠$12.4 MILLION GONE đ„¶
Yes, itâs real â and it hurts.
Wallet 0xd674 just lost 4,556 $ETH (~$12.4M)
No hack. No exploit. No smart-contract bug.
Just a copy-paste mistake.
What actually happened đ
This wallet regularly sent funds to Galaxy Digital, always using the same deposit address:
0x6D90CC8Ce83B6D0ACf634ED45d4bCc37eDdD2E48
An attacker noticed the pattern and got clever.
They generated a look-alike address (same first & last characters) and sent tiny dust transactions to the victim, polluting the transaction history.
â° About 11 hours ago, the fatal moment:
The victim went to deposit ETH again, copied an address from transaction historyâŠ
but grabbed the attackerâs address, not Galaxyâs:
Fake address used:
0x6d908Bb7F81454d378194FF0E9f471334e592E48
One click later â 4,556 ETH gone.
No undo. No reversal. Game over.
Victim wallet:
0xd6741220a947941bF290799811FcDCeA8AE4A7Da
Lesson (read this twice):
The blockchain doesnât care about intent â only addresses.
âïž Always double-check
â Never copy deposit addresses from transaction history
Those few saved seconds can cost millions.
Stay safe out there. đ§ đ
