According to a report by Golden Finance, ScamSniffer revealed that this week, cryptocurrency users lost over $1.6 million due to address poisoning attacks, a figure that exceeds the total for the entire month of March. On Friday, a victim made a mistake while copying an address from contaminated transaction history, losing 140 Ethereum (approximately $636,500). The ScamSniffer team stated: "The user essentially sent 140 Ethereum to a similar address that was implanted in the transaction history due to a copy-paste error." They added, "His transaction history was filled with poisoned address attacks, so it was just a matter of time before he got scammed." Another victim lost Crypto Assets worth $880,000 on Sunday due to Address poisoning, while other alerts indicated that one user lost $80,000 and another lost $62,000. According to Cointelegraph's summary of alerts from cybersecurity companies, since this Sunday, scammers have defrauded over $1.6 million in this manner, which exceeds the total loss of $1.2 million caused by address poisoning in March.
