Cryptocurrency fraudsters have found a new way to steal cryptocurrency

November 19, 2022 · 4:36 pm 1 min read

A new fraud scheme that has been used recently focuses on the behavioral habits of cryptocurrency owners — in this case, it does not involve hacking the device.

Fraudsters send small amounts of money from addresses similar to those to which the user recently made a transaction.

Take a look at the screenshot above. The user sent 423 USDT to a certain address, and immediately received 0.0001 USDT from a similar address.

The attackers' calculation is based on the fact that the next time the user will be inattentive and copy the address from the last transaction to make a transaction, and it, in turn, belongs to the fraudsters.

Theeditors recommend: be careful and always carefully check the address for sending crypto assets.
