A shocking loss shook the crypto world—one person lost $50 million over a simple copy-paste mistake.😱

It all started small.

The victim sent $50 USDT as a test to their own wallet. But as soon as the transaction hit the blockchain, a scammer struck. 🦹‍♂️

Using a trick called “address poisoning,” the attacker created a fake wallet that looked almost identical—same first and last few characters. 👀

A tiny, almost invisible transaction from the scammer made the fake address appear in the victim’s transaction history.📄

Thinking they were safe, the victim copied this fake address to send the remaining $49,999,950. And just like that, it was gone.😥

Crypto doesn’t forgive mistakes.

🚫Never copy addresses from transaction histories.

🧐Always check the entire address, not just the first and last few characters.

📄Keep a trusted list of addresses and double-check every transfer.

One careless click can cost everything.😫
