A crypto user lost over $100,000 in USDT after falling victim to a wallet address poisoning scam, where attackers create fake addresses resembling legitimate ones and insert them into transaction histories. This tactic tricks users who copy-paste addresses without verifying, leading to significant financial losses. The attacker quickly converted the stolen USDT to Ethereum to avoid freezing by Tether. Address poisoning scams are rising sharply, with total Ethereum-related losses reaching $62 million between late 2025 and early 2026. Users are advised to double-check addresses, avoid copying from transaction history, perform test transactions, and use tools to detect fake addresses to protect their funds.
