question for the #bitcoin gurus

i just received 0.0000033 BTC

in one of my wallet address

what is it ? why some one would ever send me such small amount on-chain? how do i make sure to never touch that utxo ?

should i change wallet address to a toal new one?

Sounds like dust. Or maybe dust attack to trace. Ashigaru will restrict the use of dust. Most wallets don't even have utxo control, but don't consolidate it if it worries you.

what is a dust attack? what can they do with sending such a small amount to me?

Track your transactions allegedly, but I don't understand why they couldn't track your existing utxos.

exactly. i don't understand the tech behind these dust attacks.
