    Address poisoning hit nearly 4.5M Solana wallets; 1,104 sent $940K to lookalike addresses

    Bitquery data reported by CryptoSlate shows scammers sent tiny 'dust' transfers from lookalike addresses to 4,497,798 Solana wallets between Oct 30, 2025 and Oct 7, 2026, betting that victims would later copy the fake address from their history. In a studied subset of poisoned wallets, 1,104 wallets paid a combined $940,106 to lookalikes, a figure the researchers call a floor. Receiving dust cannot drain a wallet; the loss happens only when you send to the wrong address. Copy addresses from your exchange's deposit page or a saved contact, never from transaction history.

    Investor sends 4,556 ETH ($12.25M) to a poisoned lookalike address planted months earlier

    On 30 January 2026 a victim sent 4,556 ETH, about $12.25M, to a lookalike of a regular counterparty's address. The attacker had seeded it into the victim's history with fake token transfers from February 2025 and ETH dust from October 2025; it matched the real address's first and last four characters. About 33 minutes later the ETH was swept to a new wallet, and the next day all of it went into Tornado Cash. Scam Sniffer flagged the loss.
