โ ๏ธ Spy attacks and address theft threaten your crypto transactions!
Recently, Address Poisoning attacks have emerged, where criminals typically exploit copied addresses from transaction records. ๐คฏ
How does it work?
Attackers create addresses that resemble the beginning and end of your usual addresses using Vanity generators.
They use fake symbols, zero-value transfers, or extremely small amounts to pollute your wallet's record.
Result: You might accidentally send your funds to a malicious address!
๐ก Protection methods:
Use a trusted wallet like Binance Wallet, which provides:
Filtering of small and unimportant transfers.
Alerts when a similar but different address appears compared to your usual one.
Rely on your Address Book and save your trusted addresses with clear names.
Middle character rule: Verify the first, middle, and last four characters of each address before sending.
Test large transfers first with a small amount to confirm the address is correct.
โ
Don't trust transaction history aloneโtake your time to verify every address, especially the middle ones, to avoid losing your funds permanently. Just seconds of verification can save you from massive losses!
