$BNB ¡Cuidado! An error of $50 million leaves us a vital lesson from CZ 🚨.
What happened recently is a true nightmare for any investor; a user lost $50,000,000 in USDT in just a few minutes, all due to a nearly perfect visual trap.
As you can see in the images circulating, the attacker used a technique called Address Poisoning (which in English means "Address Poisoning"). Basically, the scammer created an address that starts and ends exactly the same as the victim's, causing the latter to copy the fake address directly from their transaction history.
The founder of Binance, CZ, has been very clear about this and is urging the entire industry to eradicate these "poisonous scams". His proposal is for wallets to stop being passive; they must block suspicious addresses, share blacklists in real-time, and, above all, hide those "dust" or cents transactions that only serve to clutter our history and confuse us.
The most impressive thing is to see the technology in action. The Binance wallet already triggers a yellow alert for "Similar Address" when it detects that someone is trying to send funds to an account that mimics another known one.
The big lesson today is that "Not your keys, not your coins" (if you don't have the keys, the money is not yours), but also that the convenience of copying and pasting is our greatest weakness. Don't rely solely on the ends of an address; always use QR codes or your secure contact list to ensure your capital never ends up in the hands of strangers.
