Wallets & Security | What is address poisoning? How does it trick people?
Some token contracts accept transfers of 0, which attackers exploit to leave a record that appears to show a transfer from your address, making it look as though you initiated the transfer.
Once an on-chain transfer is confirmed, it cannot be reversed. Assets sent to similar addresses are usually unrecoverable.
Addresses that frequently send and receive stablecoins, as well as $ETH addresses, are more likely to be targeted by address poisoning.
Revoke contract approvals you no longer need regularly, and avoid keeping long-term approvals in your wallet.
