USDT $50M Lost to Address Poisoning Attack: Lookonchain Warns Traders to Verify Addresses Before Transfers
According to @lookonchain, wallet 0xcB80 lost roughly $50M after 49,999,950 USDT was sent to a spoofed address created via an address poisoning attack. According to @lookonchain, the victim first sent a 50 USDT test to their own address 0xbaf4b1aF...B6495F8b5, after which the scammer spun up a wallet with the same first and last four characters. According to @lookonchain, many wallets truncate the middle of addresses with ellipses, leading users to copy from transaction history and verify only the beginning and end of addresses. According to @lookonchain, the victim copied the spoofed address from their history and the remaining 49,999,950 USDT was routed straight to the attacker. According to @lookonchain, this highlights elevated operational risk for on-chain stablecoin transfers and the need to double-check full addresses and avoid copying from transaction history when moving size. According to @lookonchain (citing SpecterAnalyst on X), traders should adopt stricter address verification to mitigate address poisoning risk. |

Whale Loses 50M USDT to Address-Poisoning Scam After Binance Withdrawal — Do Not Copy From Recent Transactions
According to @EmberCN, a whale or institution lost 50 million USDT after sending funds to a look-alike address created via an address-poisoning scam (source: @EmberCN). According to the same source, the wallet withdrew 50 million USDT from Binance roughly 10 hours earlier and first sent a 50 USDT test to the intended recipient (source: @EmberCN). According to @EmberCN, the attacker generated an address sharing the same first and last three characters and sent a small 0.005 transaction so the poisoned address appeared in the victim’s recent history, leading the victim to copy it and transfer the full amount (source: @EmberCN). According to the source, traders should not copy addresses from recent transactions and should verify the entire address string, as a test transfer alone did not prevent this loss (source: @EmberCN). |
