The Free Wi-Fi Trap: One Click, and My Savings Vanished! 💔
Sarah was confidently trading at a café, connected to an unsecured public Wi-Fi network. 💻 To quickly check her DeFi rewards, she copied her Public Wallet Address and pasted it into her laptop browser.
What she didn't know: A hacker ("Ghost") was silently monitoring the network traffic! 🕵️♂️
Ghost immediately launched an "Address Poisoning" attack:
1. Ghost sent a tiny, negligible amount of a worthless token to Sarah’s wallet from an address that looked visually identical to her usual exchange deposit address (matching the first and last five characters).
2. Days later, when Sarah rushed to send a large sum, she **lazily copied the fake, poisoned address** from her "Recent Transactions" history instead of copying the correct one from the exchange website. ❌
3. In her moment of haste, she sent her entire life savings into the void.
The Result: The hacker never needed her private keys. They only needed her human vulnerability and the convenience of a quick copy-paste on a public network.
