According to a report by Jinse Finance, Scam Sniffer has revealed that this week, cryptocurrency users lost over $1.6 million to address poisoning attacks, surpassing the total losses for the entire month of March. On Friday, one victim lost 140 ETH (approximately $636,500) after mistakenly copying an address from a tainted transaction history. The Scam Sniffer team stated, “The user essentially made a copy-paste error and sent 140 ETH to a lookalike address that had been inserted into their transaction history.” They added, “Their transaction history was filled with poisoned addresses, so it was only a matter of time before they fell victim.” Another victim lost $880,000 worth of cryptocurrency to address poisoning on Sunday, while other alerts showed one user lost $80,000 and another lost $62,000. According to Cointelegraph’s compilation of cybersecurity company alerts, since Sunday, scammers have stolen over $1.6 million through this method, exceeding the $1.2 million in address poisoning losses recorded in March.
