A shocking scam has recently surfaced in the Web3 world—someone lost nearly 50 million USDT overnight, and the culprit is the so-called "address poisoning" attack.

This type of scam seems simple but is hard to defend against. The scammer forges a fake address that looks similar to your wallet address, then uses various methods to make this fake address appear in your view. Many people, when hurriedly transferring funds, only check the first few and last few characters of the address, resulting in being duped, and assets disappearing instantly.

**How can you avoid falling into this trap?** The solution isn't complicated; the key is to be diligent:

1. Before transferring, carefully verify the entire address from start to finish. Don't rely on the idea that only similar-looking addresses are safe.

2. Use auxiliary tools. For example, store your frequently used addresses in an address book, or use domain services like ENS, and enable transaction confirmation pop-up prompts.

3. Most importantly, maintain the right mindset. Treat every transfer as a "high-pressure operation": take your time, be cautious, and proceed steadily—safety comes from caution.

Ultimately, security involves no small details. In ecosystems like BNB and BTC, everyone must consider themselves the last line of defense. For this industry to truly purify, everyone needs to stay vigilant.
