Cryptic(@Cryptic_Web3):⚠️ ONE COPY-PASTE MISTAKE. $100,000 GONE. A crypto user lost roughly 100,000 $USDT after copying a lookalike wallet address from their transaction history. The attacker had planted the poisoned address 66 days earlier, waiting for the victim to mistake it for a legitimate address. The stolen USDT was later swapped for roughly 52.8 ETH. No seed phrase was stolen. No private key was compromised. The attack relied on one thing: trusting a transaction history entry without checking the full address. At what point does convenience become a security risk?
