According to BlockBeats news on August 15, Scam Sniffer monitored that an hour ago, a victim lost 140 ETH, worth $636,559, by copying the wrong address from contaminated transaction history. Address poisoning attackers make fake wallet addresses appear in the target's transaction history by sending microtransactions (usually zero-value or tiny 'dust' transactions) to the target wallet. The forged addresses are very similar to the addresses commonly used by the user, misleading the user to make a mistake when copying and pasting the address, sending funds to the attacker's address.
