A recent surge in address poisoning scams has resulted in over $1.6 million in losses for cryptocurrency users within a week, according to Cointelegraph reports. These scams exploit the trusting nature of crypto users and their transaction history. The victims, unknowingly sending funds to the wrong addresses after being deceived by lookalike mimicry of legitimate wallet details, are losing significant sums of money. A notable case involved a victim who sent 140 Ether (ETH) valued at approximately $636,500 after mistakenly copying a contaminated address from their transfer history. The incident highlights how these scams can occur easily even within seemingly normal transaction histories.
