I was asked: What is address poisoning, and why does it fool people?
My answer: Address poisoning is when an attacker generates a similar address with the same first and last characters as an address you use regularly, then slips it into your transaction history. Once an on-chain transfer is confirmed, it can’t be reversed, so assets sent to a similar address are basically impossible to recover.
