The scammer's moves are being monitored by blockchain sleuths Earlier today, an extremely unlucky trader fell victim to an address poisoning scam, losing a whopping $68 million worth of wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC). Most of these funds have been already converted to Ethereum, according to crypto tracking and compliance platform MistTrack. The address poisoning scam involves creating a fake address that is very similar to the real one. For this fraudulent scheme to work, a potential victim has to be careless enough to copy and paste the wrong address for performing their transaction. Hence, users are supposed to always double-check their addresses (especially if they are copy-pasted from one's transaction history). At the same time, suspicious transactions should be simply ignored.
