⚠️ Latest Security Alert: Another address poisoning scam has surfaced on the blockchain, with victims losing over 500,000 USDT in this incident.

The tactics of this scam are quite ruthless—fraudsters spread大量虚假地址 (a large number of fake addresses) online, waiting for someone to accidentally copy and paste them. Once you paste these fake addresses into the transfer box, the transaction is irreversible once it’s on the chain. The key issue is that many people cannot distinguish these addresses from real ones, resulting in lost funds.

Copying and pasting may seem like a simple operation, but it has become a primary target for hackers. Every on-chain transaction is irreversible, which is why this type of scam often succeeds. If you frequently transfer USDT or perform other on-chain operations, be sure to stay vigilant—do not blindly trust addresses in your clipboard.

Once you've done it, you never want to do it again. You really have to manually type the address.

Every time I see news like this about losing 500,000, I get numb. Such a simple task as copy-pasting can be used as a knife.

500,000 USDT just disappeared like that, I really can't hold it anymore. The clipboard thing needs to be verified every time.

Losing 500,000 USDT just because of copy-pasting, that's really unbelievable... From now on, I have to double-check the address several times before each transfer.

500,000 USDT just disappeared like that. Even a simple copy-paste operation can be exploited by hackers. It's truly hard to guard against everything.

500,000 gone, this is really unbelievable. I just want to know why some people just copy and paste addresses without verifying, is it really that convenient?
