A new academic study highlights “address poisoning” attacks—where users unknowingly copy transaction addresses similar to previous ones. Over 270 million attack attempts have caused $83 million+ in losses in just two years on Ethereum and BSC.
The Threat:
Attackers generate lookalike wallet addresses to intercept funds during dApp or P2P transfers.
How to Avoid It:
Always bookmark trusted addresses
Double-check past tx IDs, don’t rely on suggestions
Use ENS or QR wallets where possible
