Quick Reference Card: Address Poisoning
Some token contracts allow transfers of 0, which attackers can exploit to create a record that appears to show tokens transferred “from your address,” making it look like you initiated the transfer.
Checking only the beginning and end of an address won’t protect you from address poisoning, because it’s not difficult to generate addresses with the same first and last few characters.
Ignore unsolicited zero-value transfers, and never add the sender’s address to your frequently used addresses.
Addresses that frequently send and receive stablecoins and $ETH are more likely to be targeted by address poisoning. Current: 2259.34.
