Address-spoofing attacks — “dust” transfers of stablecoins — have surged by more than 600%.
Scammers send millions of microtransactions so their fake addresses appear in wallet histories and look “familiar.”
The idea is simple: a user copies an address from recent transactions, doesn’t notice the substitution, and ends up sending money to the attacker. Because of low fees, this scheme has become cheap and scalable — thousands of attempts for a single successful transfer.
