According to @OnchainLens, a victim lost $50M in USDT in an address poisoning attack (source: @OnchainLens). @OnchainLens reports the attacker swapped the stolen USDT for DAI, moved funds to another wallet, then swapped for ETH before routing the proceeds through Tornado Cash (source: @OnchainLens). The victim wallet 0xcb80784ef74c98a89b6ab8d96ebe890859600819 and thief wallets 0xbaff2f13638c04b10f8119760b2d2ae86b08f8b5 and 0x9da061291e11dad806d68c20730c516c34a17b9b are identified by @OnchainLens and can be verified on Etherscan transaction records (sources: @OnchainLens, Etherscan). Traders can monitor these addresses on Etherscan to track any further swaps or transfers that could affect USDT, DAI, and ETH on-chain liquidity as flagged by @OnchainLens (sources: Etherscan, @OnchainLens).

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).

According to @AltcoinGordon, a trader lost over $600,000 in USDC by accidentally sending funds to a wallet address compromised through address poisoning. This incident highlights the increasing risk of address poisoning attacks in the cryptocurrency market, where attackers create lookalike addresses to trick users into sending funds to the wrong destination. Traders are urged to double-check wallet addresses before transferring large amounts of stablecoins or other cryptocurrencies. As USDC is widely used for trading and DeFi, such security breaches can impact market confidence and liquidity. Source: @AltcoinGordon on Twitter, May 10, 2025.

According to @AltcoinGordon, address poisoning is a tactic used by attackers to manipulate cryptocurrency addresses, potentially diverting funds to malicious wallets instead of intended recipients. Traders are advised to stay vigilant to prevent such fraudulent activities.

According to Phantom, to avoid address poisoning, users should never copy and paste an address from their transaction history, always verify their wallet address before sending funds, and consider using Phantom usernames instead of addresses to minimize risk.

According to Phantom, address poisoning is a prevalent crypto scam where scammers create wallet addresses that closely resemble legitimate ones. The intent is to deceive users into sending funds to the scammer's wallet instead of the intended recipient. This tactic underscores the importance of double-checking wallet addresses before making transactions to avoid financial losses.

According to PeckShieldAlert, a community contributor has identified that an address (0x8EEa...2d6) lost approximately $1 million, equivalent to 410 ETH, three hours ago due to an address poisoning scam. The loss occurred because the user mistakenly copied the wrong address. The intended address was 0x15e1c25B29aD5Fd9f2FcEBca9578EffDd8CB2413.
