【Term explained】What is address poisoning? Why does it fool people?
Some token contracts accept transfers of 0, which attackers can exploit to create a record that looks like tokens were transferred “from your address”—as if you had made the transfer yourself.
Address poisoning doesn’t require access to your private key or your signing an authorization. It relies on the habit of copying addresses from transaction records and checking only the first and last few characters.
Addresses that frequently send and receive stablecoins and $ETH are more likely to be targeted by address poisoning.
Be skeptical of claims promising high returns.
These are just market records. Make your own trading decisions.
