Crypto User Scam: $50 Million Lost in Address Poisoning Copy-Paste Mistake

[BitStrategist]

A crypto user just lost nearly $50 million to a sneaky address poisoning scam. The scammers didn’t use malware or hack anything—they simply messed with the wallet’s transaction history until the user accidentally sent their money to a fake address.

Here’s how you stay safe:

Double-check wallet addresses yourself every time.

Set up a whitelist so you only send funds to trusted addresses.

Watch out for any weird changes in your transaction history.

Honestly, this should be a loud warning for anyone dealing with crypto.
