HackFraudOngoing Ethereum address poisoning attacks draining USDT
Published: 29 Oct 2026 · Worldwide
Scammers plant lookalike addresses (matching first 4 + last 6 chars) in victims' wallet transaction history via tiny transfers. Users copy-paste from history and send funds (e.g. 50K USDT lost in one recent case). Tools like Poison Check and Scam Sniffer detect fakes by comparing against history. One victim lost 100K USDT after 66 days.
