🚨 $12,400,000 FLEW AWAY IN SECONDS DUE TO A STUPID MISTAKE! 😱💀🔥
Imagine: you regularly send ETH to a verified address of Galaxy Digital. Everything is automated. You copy from the transaction history — and bam! 💥
4,556 ETH (~$12.4 million) went to the wrong place.
Why? Because the attacker created a poison address — almost identical to the legitimate one: the same first 4 and last 4 characters. They threw in a bunch of dust transactions to make the fake show up in your history. You copied the counterfeit instead of the real address — and hello, millions in someone else's wallet! 😤
This happened today (victim: 0xd674... — just 11 hours ago).
Here’s a screenshot from Lookonchain with the details Image: screenshot of the Lookonchain post with the victim's, Galaxy's, and poison address, plus an explanation of the attack]
LESSONS WORTH MILLIONS (literally):
✅ Never copy an address from the transaction history! 🚫
✅ Check the first 6 + last 6 characters MANUALLY every time! 👀
✅ Use a bookmark in your wallet or a QR code from an official source.
✅ Enable clipboard protection in Ledger/Trezor/MetaMask.
One click — and the stack disappeared.
