Two victims lost over $62 million due to address poisoning attacks by copying the wrong address.

According to Odaily, Scam Sniffer monitoring shows that in January, a single victim lost $12.2 million due to copying the wrong address from transaction history, and together with a similar attack in December involving 500,000 US dollars, the two victims have suffered a total loss of over $62 million. Address poisoning attacks refer to attackers sending small amounts of tokens from visually similar addresses to lure users into copying the wrong address. In addition, signature phishing in January resulted in thefts totaling $6.27 million, a month-on-month increase of 207%. Analysis suggests that the Ethereum Fusaka upgrade has reduced transaction costs, leading to an increase in the frequency of such attacks. Coin Metrics data shows that dust transactions related to stablecoins currently account for about 11% of Ethereum's daily transaction volume. Whitestream stated that DAI has become the preferred choice for illicit actors to store funds because its protocol governance does not cooperate with authorities to freeze addresses. (Cointelegraph)
