Crypto 101 📚 Address poisoning
Some token contracts allow transfers of 0. Attackers can exploit this to leave a record that looks like a transfer “from your address,” making it seem as if you made the transfer yourself.

My notes are full of useful tips, and my account is full of expensive lessons.
Wallets that frequently send and receive stablecoins and $ETH are more likely to be targeted by address poisoning.
