$50 Million Vanished in a Copy-Paste Nightmare ๐คฏ
A stablecoin holder just lost nearly $50 MILLION on a Binance withdrawal โ not to a hack, but to a single, devastating copy-paste error.
Hereโs what happened: the user sent a test transaction, then copied an address from their historyโฆ unknowingly sending 49,999,950 stablecoins to a malicious address. This is โaddress poisoningโ โ a scam where attackers create addresses that *look* almost identical to legitimate ones. One character off, and itโs game over. ๐ฅ
This incident highlights a chilling truth: the biggest risk in crypto isnโt flawed code, itโs human error. Double-check *every* address, and never blindly trust transaction history. Slow down, even with stablecoins. A single careless click can wipe out your funds.
As U.S. lawmakers consider the SAFE Crypto Act to combat scams, this incident underscores the urgent need for vigilance. #CryptoSecurity #AddressPoisoning #Binance #ScamAlert ๐จ
