📢 A costly mistake just exposed how dangerous small habits can be in crypto. Nearly $50 million in USDT was sent to a scam address after a simple copy-paste error.
The cause was address poisoning, where attackers send tiny transactions from look-alike wallets so their address appears familiar in transaction history. One rushed transfer is enough.
The incident highlights how fragile on-chain safety can be when speed overrides verification. Checking the full address, relying on whitelists, and copying only from trusted, original sources aren’t optional anymore. In high-value transfers, a single unchecked character can quietly turn into a permanent loss.
