What could go wrong if I copy an address directly from my transaction history when making a payment?
This is how I understand it: once an on-chain transfer is confirmed, it can't be reversed, and assets sent to a similar-looking address are basically impossible to recover.
Some token contracts allow transfers of 0 tokens. An attacker can exploit this to leave a record that looks like a transfer “from your address,” making it seem as though you sent the tokens yourself.
My current habit: before making a large transfer, I send a small test amount first, then send the rest after confirming with the recipient that it arrived.
People who frequently send and receive stablecoins and wallets with $ETH are more likely to be targeted by address poisoning. Current price: 2058.57.
