According to @PeckShieldAlert, @SpecterAnalyst reported a $50M USDT address poisoning incident where the victim wallet 0xcB8078...00819 first sent a $50 test to 0xbaf4b1aF7E3B560d937DA0458514552B6495F8b5 and later mistakenly copied a lookalike 0xBaFF2F13638C04B10F8119760B2D2aE86b08f8b5, resulting in a 50M USDT transfer to the poisoned address (source: @PeckShieldAlert). No protocol exploit was indicated; the loss stemmed from misdirecting funds due to an attacker-seeded lookalike address, confirming an address poisoning vector rather than a smart contract breach (source: @PeckShieldAlert). For traders, this highlights elevated operational risk on high-value USDT moves and the need to verify full destination strings, use address allowlists, and avoid copying from transaction history or memos to reduce execution risk (source: @PeckShieldAlert). Label and monitor the disclosed addresses in transaction tools and adjust routing or venue selection when handling large USDT transfers to limit slippage and settlement risk (source: @PeckShieldAlert).

According to Fox News, a China expert has called for a CCP loyalist to be sent to Guantanamo Bay following their arrest for alleged pathogen smuggling. This high-profile security incident, reported on June 5, 2025, potentially heightens geopolitical risk between the US and China, a factor traders should monitor closely. Increased security tensions can drive higher volatility in crypto markets, especially for coins sensitive to global news such as Bitcoin and stablecoins. Traders are advised to watch for sudden price swings and liquidity shifts as markets respond to the evolving situation (Source: Fox News).
