Solana address poisoning: $10 test transfer preceded $30,750 loss to scammer
- —Victim sent a $10 test, then moved $30,750 to the same fake address
- —Attacker generates an address matching the first and last characters of a legitimate one
- —A dust transaction from the scammer plants the fake address in the victim's history
- —A test transfer only proves the address works, not who owns it
Why it matters: Solana's low fees make mass poisoning campaigns cheap, and confirmed on-chain transfers are irreversible, leaving victims little chance of recovery.
