Golden Finance reported that, according to Scam Sniffer, cryptocurrency users lost over $1.6 million this week due to address poisoning attacks, a figure that exceeds the total for the entire month of March. On Friday, a victim made a mistake while copying an address from a contaminated transaction history, losing 140 Ethereum (approximately $636,500). The Scam Sniffer team stated: "The user essentially sent 140 Ethereum to a similar address that was implanted in the transaction history due to a copy-paste error." They added, "His transaction history was filled with poisoned addresses, so it was just a matter of time before he was scammed." Another victim lost cryptocurrency worth $880,000 on Sunday due to address poisoning, while other alerts indicated that one user lost $80,000 and another lost $62,000. According to Cointelegraph's compilation of alerts from cybersecurity companies, since this Sunday, scammers have defrauded over $1.6 million in this manner, surpassing the total loss of $1.2 million from address poisoning in March.
