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.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/address-poisoning-attacks-in-cryptoNote; Address Poisoning attack invole tampering with cryptocurrency address, exploiting human error rather than vulnerabilities in blockchain security.
It is obvious that there is no blockchain weakness. Attackers are just trying to copy or redirect the address to their own address and unfortunately they have stolen the assets of many individual users with this method. The best way to protect yourself from this attack is to send a very small amount to the address you will send to test it in my opinion.
I always do this just to be sure and although I spend a little time and a small fee, I know it is worth it.
