Two victims lost over $62 million due to an address poisoning attack that copied incorrect addresses.

According to Scam Sniffer monitoring, a single victim lost $12.2 million in January due to copying the wrong address in transaction history. Combined with a similar attack in December involving 500,000 US dollars, the two victims suffered a combined loss exceeding $62 million. Address poisoning attacks involve attackers sending small amounts of tokens from seemingly similar addresses, enticing users to copy the wrong address. Furthermore, signature phishing attacks stole $6.27 million in January, a 207% increase month-over-month. Analysts believe that the Ethereum Fusaka upgrade lowered transaction costs, leading to an increase in the frequency of such attacks. Coin Metrics data shows that stablecoin-related dust transactions currently account for approximately 11% of Ethereum's daily total transactions. Whitestream stated that DAI, due to its protocol governance's lack of cooperation with authorities in freezing addresses, has become a preferred storage method for illicit activities. (Cointelegraph)
