A crypto user has reportedly lost $50 million in an “address poisoning” scam, highlighting a serious risk in on-chain transactions. In this type of attack, scammers send a small “dust” transaction to a victim’s wallet so the fake address appears in the transaction history. When the victim later copies the address from their history, funds are mistakenly sent to the scammer instead of the intended recipient, underscoring the importance of carefully verifying wallet addresses before every transfer.
