It happened to me in the Phantom wallet, an NFT appeared and since it was trendy, I wanted to see what it was. And within seconds, my entire balance disappeared. I had 500$ in SOL and it cost 23$ Solana.

Here’s why 👇

📌 What is a Dust Attack or Airdrop Scam?

It’s when someone sends you crypto you didn’t ask for. Could be tiny (dust) or look HUGE ($247K in PUFFER?!).

🎯 Their goal?

To trick you into clicking, swapping, staking, or “claiming more” — and BAM, you unknowingly sign a malicious contract.

⚠️ Why It’s Dangerous:

💣 That token has zero liquidity — it’s just bait.

🪝 The moment you try to interact, you’ll be asked to approve a shady contract.

💀 One approval = they gain access to your entire wallet.

💸 And yes, your whole portfolio can be gone in seconds.

✅ What You MUST Do:

❌ Don’t swap, send, or claim.

❌ Don’t connect your wallet to “helper” websites.

✅ Hide the token from your wallet view.

🔐 The Golden Rule:

If you didn’t buy it — it’s bait.

Never interact. Stay safe. Stay smart.

🧠 Pro Tip: If you feel compromised, move your real assets to a fresh wallet ASAP.
