Part 4/9:
3. The Poisoning Process
In this stage, scammers send small amounts of cryptocurrency—often referenced as dust transactions—from the generated vanity addresses to both the original wallet and the recipient's wallet. This makes it appear as though the transactions are legitimate and connected, effectively poisoning the transaction history.
4. The Attack Vector
The final phase is when the victim, unknowingly influenced by the recent transactions, may copy and paste the poisoned address for subsequent transfers. This oversight can lead to a significant loss, as funds directed to the scammer’s address become irretrievable.
