Crypto User Falls Victim to Address Poisoning Scam Losing $100K

A crypto user has lost about $100,000 in USDT due to an address poisoning scam. The attacker exploited the victim's habit of copying addresses from transaction history without verifying the full address string.

The stolen funds were converted into approximately 52.8 ETH to avoid freezing by Tether.

This incident highlights the risks of relying on transaction history as a trusted source and underscores the importance of verifying full wallet addresses before transfers.
