$50 Million Vanished in a Copy-Paste Nightmare ๐Ÿคฏ

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.

Hereโ€™s what happened: the user sent a test transaction, then copied an address from their historyโ€ฆ unknowingly sending 49,999,950 stablecoins to a malicious address. This is โ€œaddress poisoningโ€ โ€“ a scam where attackers create addresses that *look* almost identical to legitimate ones. One character off, and itโ€™s game over. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

This incident highlights a chilling truth: the biggest risk in crypto isnโ€™t flawed code, itโ€™s 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 ๐Ÿšจ
