What is address poisoning? Why does it fool people?
Address poisoning is when an attacker creates a fake address whose beginning and ending match an address you commonly use, then slips it into your transaction history.
Address poisoning doesn’t require stealing your private key or getting you to sign an authorization. It exploits the habit of copying addresses from transaction history and checking only the beginning and end.
Addresses that frequently send and receive stablecoins and $ETH are more likely to be targeted by address poisoning.
