My latest research that I presented yesterday at the MIT Bitcoin Expo, delves into a relatively new type of attack we're seeing on the blockchain.
Discussion
Good reminder to move slowly when doing any larger spends, and check every letter of address
The attacker has either lost .13 btc, or gained 4500 btc.
Great article back by great data. This absolutely explains why my wallet received a dust depisit not long ago. Thanks Jameson!
I like attacks that start by sending me bitcoin. Thanks for doing the work and warning us!
I give anyone who wants to poison my addresses permission to do so. Itās free bitcoin š¤·āāļø
I agree that attackers will likely target addresses with multiple transactions going in and out to maximize their chances of success. I believe it is good practice to use a freshly generated HD address to receive any bitcoin and never reuse addresses.
Personally, I think address poisoning is a creative way to steal bitcoin, but I donāt think it has a high enough success rate for it to be very popular in the long run. The cost of the bait is worth more than the catch.

Vielleicht ist es euch mƶglich, Warnmeldungen einzubauen, sobald jemand ehemalige Empfangsaddressen in die Zwischenablage kopiert?
Die Bitbox Wallet kƶnnte auch nach Dust-Transaktionen in der Historie suchen und sie bei hoher Ćhnlichkeit als "mƶglichen Betrugsversuch" taggen...?
Always verify address with HWW.
This is where QR based HWWs win with UX.
Thanks for sharing your research and your knowledge š«”

Starting my crypto trading journey has been an incredible experience, especially with the guidance of my managerās new trading plan. The financial progress Iāve made is beyond what I expected earning $150,000 is a great milestone for someone new to this space. The support from the company has been outstanding. If you're looking to get started, I highly recommend reaching out to Mrs. Susan. You can email her at susandemorirs@gmail.com or message her on WhatsApp at +1 (472) 218-4301. Sheās been instrumental in my success
TLDR ALWAYS use a new address
