🚨
Yes… this really happened.
And it’s painful to read.
A single wallet (0xd674) just lost 4,556 ETH, worth around $12.4 million — and it wasn’t due to a hack, a smart-contract failure, or some high-level exploit.
It was a simple copy-paste error.
The kind of mistake everyone thinks will never happen to them.
🧠 How Did This Happen?
The wallet frequently sent funds to Galaxy Digital, always using the same deposit address:
0x6D90CC8Ce83B6D0ACf634ED45d4bCc37eDdD2E48
An attacker noticed this routine and took advantage of it.
They created a look-alike address with the same starting and ending characters, then sent tiny dust transactions to the victim’s wallet — just enough to poison the transaction history.
Quiet. Smart. Dangerous.
⏱️ Then Came the Fatal Moment…
About 11 hours ago, the victim tried to deposit ETH again.
Instead of copying the address from the official source, they copied it directly from their transaction history.
Wrong move.
They accidentally selected the attacker’s fake address:
0x6d908Bb7F81454d378194FF0E9f471334e592E48
One click later —
4,556 ETH disappeared forever.
No recovery.
No customer support.
No second chance.

⚠️ The Hard Lesson for Everyone
Blockchains don’t understand mistakes.
They don’t care about intentions.
They only follow addresses.
🔒 Always double-check before sending
🔒 Always verify the full address
❌ Never copy deposit addresses from transaction history to save time
Because sometimes…
saving a few seconds can cost millions. 💸💔
Stay alert. Stay safe.
