Bitquery: Address poisoning hit 4.5 million Solana wallets

  • —4,497,798 Solana wallets targeted by address poisoning over 11 months
  • —1,104 wallets lost $940,106 — a floor estimate of the damage
  • —One wallet sent a $10 test, then $30,749.80 in USDT to a fake address
  • —Attack method: dust transfers place a lookalike address next to a legitimate one
Why it matters: A successful test transfer confirms delivery but not ownership, making copied addresses from transaction history a persistent risk for Solana users.
