Krypto-Investor verliert über 12 Millionen US-Dollar an Ethereum, um „Vergiftungsbetrug“ zu bekämpfen

tldr; A cryptocurrency investor lost $12.4 million in Ethereum due to an ‚address poisoning‘ attack. The attacker used a look-alike wallet address, created with vanity address generation software, to mimic the victim’s legitimate address. By dusting the victim’s wallet with small transactions, the attacker ensured the fake address appeared in the victim’s recent transaction history. The victim mistakenly sent funds to the fraudulent address. This incident highlights the risks of relying on transaction history for payments and the need for stricter verification protocols.
