Gate News: On March 13, Etherscan issued a security warning. A user received 89 malicious transactions within 30 minutes after making two stablecoin transfers. The address poisoning attacker monitored blockchain activity, created fake addresses with highly similar starting and ending characters to addresses the user had interacted with, and sent nearly worthless small transfers to these fake addresses. This caused the fake addresses to appear in the user’s transaction history, tricking the user into copying the attacker’s address in subsequent transfers. Etherscan recommends users always verify the full recipient address before transferring and use its address highlighting feature to distinguish similar addresses.
