Cryptocurrency investors lose over $12 million worth of Ethereum to "address poisoning" scam

According to a report by Bijie Network: A cryptocurrency investor lost 4,556 ETH (approximately $12.4 million) in an "address poisoning" attack. The scammer used an address extremely similar to the victim's wallet address to trick them into transferring funds. The fraudulent address had identical starting and ending characters as the legitimate address, exploiting the common practice of only checking part of the address. A similar $50 million theft occurred last month, highlighting ongoing security vulnerabilities in wallet interfaces and transaction verification processes.
