🚨 CZ Warns: Beware the “Address Poisoning Virus” – Let’s Eradicate This Scam Together!
Hey Binance fam! 👋
In recent talks and warnings (including echoes in Binance Live/AMA vibes), former CEO CZ (@cz_binance) keeps calling out address poisoning as a sneaky “virus” infecting crypto wallets.
Scammers send tiny dust/spam transactions from fake addresses that look ALMOST identical to yours (first/last characters match). It poisons your transaction history → you copy-paste the wrong one → funds GONE! 😱
Key points CZ has hammered home:
• One trader lost $50M USDT in a classic case (Dec 2025).
• Another hit with $12M+ ETH losses from poisoned addresses mimicking legit ones.
• It’s preventable! Wallets should:
• Auto-warn/block “poison” addresses via on-chain checks
• Filter/hide spam micro-transactions from history
• Share real-time blacklists industry-wide
• Binance Wallet already does this (warnings + protections) – props to the team! 👏
CZ believes we can completely eradicate this “virus” with better defaults and collaboration. No more human error tragedies.
Stay vigilant: ALWAYS double-check full addresses before sending! Verify on-chain, use bookmarks, enable 2FA/hardware wallets.
What do you think – should ALL wallets make poison address blocks mandatory? Drop your thoughts below!
