these small dusting attacks can be dangerous?
Dust Attack, what it is, why it is dangerous and how to prevent falling to it[url]

Dust attacks are bad for your privacy because if you consolidate them together and use it together with other UTXOs for your transaction, your privacy will be broken. Attackers can link  your addresses, UTXOs together.

Another risk is if you don't know and do consolidation of small dust UTXOs, you will waste many satoshi for transaction fee.
