I just came across an interesting article about "Address Poisoning Attack" and I thought it was worth sharing.

These types of scams can definitely be tricky, so it is very important to stay informed to keep our funds safe.

Note; Address Poisoning attack invole tampering with cryptocurrency address, exploiting human error rather than vulnerabilities in blockchain security.

So this is something new:

Address poisoning involves sending small transactions from wallet addresses that closely resemble a legitimate one, tricking users into copying the wrong address when making future transactions.

Trying out to send those wallets that having that almost identical with having that 1-2 digit or just like look the same for the real user will be trying out to copy that recent transaction?
Im surprised that it work considering on how many have been victimized on this, but the main question on my mind is on how the heck will someone copy out the address from history of transactions? rather than on
copying directly with that main address written above?  Huh Huh
