- Solana’s “address poisoning” scam just hit 4.5 million wallets, proving that copying from history is still the fastest way to turn your stack into a donation for scammers. Bitquery tracked a wallet testing $10 on a lookalike address, then happily dumping $30,750 because a tiny dust transaction tricked its clipboard. It’s not theft; it’s aggressive passive income for criminals exploiting lazy meat wallets. Phantom warns against this, but apparently, reading instructions is too much work for the moonboys. Check the first and last three characters, or watch your funds vanish into the void. That’s not a bug, it’s a feature of human error.
