📐 Wallet & Security | Address Poisoning
· Definition: Address poisoning is when scammers create fake addresses that match the first and last few characters of an address you often use, then slip them into your transaction history.
· How it works: Address poisoning doesn't require stealing your private key or getting you to sign an authorization. It relies on the habit of copying addresses from your transaction history and checking only the first and last few characters.
· Reminder: Ignore zero-value transfers from unfamiliar addresses, and don't save the sender's address as one of your frequently used addresses.
