Study Notes | Address Poisoning
① Address poisoning is when an attacker creates a lookalike address with the same first and last few characters as an address you commonly use, then slips it into your transaction history.
② Checking only the first and last few characters won’t protect you from address poisoning, because it’s not difficult to generate addresses with matching characters at both ends.
③ Before sending a payment, compare the full address. Don’t just check the first and last few characters—make sure the characters in the middle match too.
