Urgent Alert: $EOS Users Beware of Address Poisoning Scams!
If you use the EOS Network, pay attention! A new scam is targeting users, and security experts are warning everyone to stay alert. The blockchain security firm SlowMist has reported an ongoing "address poisoning" attack. This is a sneaky trick designed to fool you into sending your cryptocurrency to scammers instead of your intended wallet.
What Is Address Poisoning?
In cryptocurrency, security is everything. Address poisoning is a scam where attackers send tiny amounts of EOS (like 0.001 EOS) from addresses that look very similar to yours. These fake addresses appear in your transaction history. Later, when you copy and paste what you think is your own address for a transaction, you might accidentally choose the scammer’s address instead. This small mistake can lead to major losses.
What’s Happening on the EOS Network?
SlowMist has warned that scammers are actively sending small EOS transactions to multiple users, planting fake addresses in transaction histories. This trick makes it easier for users to fall for the scam without noticing.
How to Stay Safe
1.- Always double-check addresses** before sending crypto.
2.- Manually save and use trusted addresses instead of copying from transaction history.
3.- Stay updated on security alerts from trusted sources.
This scam is active now, so be cautious to protect your funds!
