Not every crypto scam involves hacking. Address poisoning attacks rely on lookalike wallet addresses and human error. A single copy-paste mistake can send funds to a scammer — and blockchain transactions can't be reversed. Learn how address poisoning works and how to protect yourself. 🛡️👇

☠️ Address poisoning is a crypto scam built around how wallet addresses are displayed. When sending cryptoassets, people often copy a recent address from their transaction history and check the first and last few characters rather than the full string. Attackers place a lookalike address in that transaction history, one that matches those visible characters but differs in the middle. Because wallets shorten addresses in their display, the lookalike can be copied by mistake, sending funds to the attacker. No private key is exposed and no system is breached.
