$386K USDT Gone in Seconds, A Costly Address Poisoning Trap Another hard lesson from the blockchain streets: address poisoning is real, and it’s catching both beginners and experienced traders off-guard. This time, 386,300 USDT vanished because the attacker created a “vanity” address that looked almost identical to the victim’s previous transaction. • Real: 0xb302...cf88 • Fake: 0xb302...cf88 The trick? The scammer hides the changes deep inside the address, knowing many people only glance at the first and last few characters. A reminder to everyone in crypto: Never copy an address from your transaction history. Always double-check every single character before sending. Your money doesn’t forgive mistakes. In blockchain, one wrong digit is the difference between profit and pain.
