Recently, we came across a seemingly unremarkable article about spam transactions. That's just the question: incoming or outgoing? How can someone besides the owner of the wallet make transactions from it? It turns out that anyone can and scammers have already earned about $ 1.64 million on this. Let's get a little more detailed!

What's happening? As soon as you send someone a transaction from your wallet, the scammer generates a very similar recipient address and emulates a null transaction from your wallet. As it turns out, the BUSD/USDT contract and many others, in cases of zero transactions, make it possible for absolutely everyone to specify any "from". The calculation is that you will inadvertently copy the last address of the shipment from your wallet (without looking into the details) and send the funds not to the sender you need, but to a scam.

At first glance it seems silly, but people are just being led to this because they are sure that only they create transactions on their wallets.

A bit of statistics: as of early December, ~340,000 addresses in Ethereum and BSC were subjected to this attack, and 99 of them swallowed the bait and lost more than one and a half lams of evergreen.

So, geiz, if you see zero outgoing ones on your wallets in the Ethereum and BSC networks that you did not do, you were not broken, this is an abandoned scam hook. Ideally, it is better to always copy the recipient's address from the original source and do not save 5 seconds of your life on this, so that after an incorrect transaction you do not shorten your life with a heart attack. Good luck to everyone and take care of your funds!
