A cryptocurrency user recently lost over $2.5 million due to a simple copy-and-paste mistake. They intended to transfer 843,166 USDT to a secure wallet but sent a portion to the wrong address. In a subsequent error, they mistakenly sent $1.7 million to the same scammer. This incident highlights the significant financial consequences of minor errors. Scammers are utilizing 'transaction history poisoning' by sending small fake transfers to confuse users and redirect funds. Victims unknowingly copy these fake addresses, resulting in substantial losses. Despite a decrease in phishing losses from March to April, the number of victims has increased.

As the cryptocurrency market approaches $3.5 trillion, users must remain vigilant to avoid falling victim to such scams. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
