According to monitoring by the security agency Scam Sniffer, a user lost 140 ETH (approximately $636,000) in just 1 hour due to mistakenly copying a 'fake address' from their transaction history!
Scam Details:
Hackers send small 'dust transactions' to target wallets, deliberately leaving a forged address that is highly similar to the victim's commonly used address in the transaction record. Once the user carelessly copies it, the funds go directly into the hacker's pocket!
⚠️ Your risk may be even higher:
1️⃣ Forged addresses usually differ by only 1-2 characters, making them hard to distinguish by the naked eye!
2️⃣ Mainstream wallet transaction records lack prominent risk warnings!
3️⃣ Once a large transfer is initiated, it is nearly impossible to recover!
🔥 Immediate Self-Check:
✅ Manually verify the complete address when transferring funds, do not rely on history!
✅ Use the wallet's address book function to save frequently used addresses!
✅ Test with a small amount before making large transactions!
Forward this reminder to those around you! You could be the next 'prey'!
