If you wake up with extra funds in one of your crypto portfolios, here’s what to do next and why?

📌 What is a Dust Attack or Airdrop Scam?

A dust attack (or fake airdrop) is when someone sends you crypto, whether a tiny amount or a large eye-catching amount, without you requesting it.

• The goal is to trick you into interacting with it.

• Sometimes, they are trying to track your wallet (with small "dusts").

• But often, especially with large fake airdrops, they want you to click, swap, stake, or claim so they can make you sign a malicious smart contract.

⚠️ Why It’s Dangerous

• The balance you see ($247,000 in PUFFER) is almost always fake; the token has no real liquidity.

• The moment you try to swap or send it, you might be prompted to approve a hidden contract.

• If you sign that approval, the attacker can gain full access to your wallet.

🚨 Once you approve a malicious contract, hackers can drain your account — your entire portfolio can drop to ZERO in seconds.

✅ What You Should Do

✔️ DO NOT swap, send, stake, or “claim more.”

✔️ DO NOT connect your wallet to random sites that promise to help you “withdraw.”

✔️ Hide the token in your wallet app if possible.

✔️ If you have already interacted with it, check immediately for malicious approvals using tools like Revoke.cash (Ethereum) or Solscan (Solana) and revoke anything suspicious.

🔒 Key Takeaways

If you didn’t buy it, it’s bait.

Never interact. A wrong click or approval can leave you with zero in your wallet. Hackers use these fake airdrops to drain entire portfolios.

When in doubt, ignore, hide, and move your real assets to a new wallet if you feel unsafe.
