Binance Warns Users About 'Address Poisoning' Crypto Scam
- —The attack requires no wallet hack or private key theft
- —Scammers generate addresses matching the first and last characters
- —A dust transaction from the fake address is planted in the victim's history
- —Blockchain transactions are irreversible, so funds cannot be recovered
Why it matters: The scam is common on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain; users should verify full addresses, use allowlists and send test transfers.
