🚀Binance's security team is playing superhero, developing an "antidote" against the rising threat of address poisoning scams. They've created an algorithm that's sniffed out millions of these scammy addresses.🕵️‍♂️

Address poisoning? It's like sending a letter to the wrong address, but with your crypto. Scammers send a tiny amount of crypto to a wallet that looks a lot like yours. You copy it, send your funds, and boom, they're gone.💸

But fear not, Binance's algorithm is on the case, detecting these spoofed addresses by spotting suspicious transfers. It's like a crypto guard dog, barking at anything that looks fishy.🐕

These addresses are logged in HashDit's database, Binance's security partner, beefing up the crypto industry's defenses against such scams. Trust Wallet, for example, uses this database to alert users about potential spoofed recipients.

The need for this algorithm became clear when a trader lost a whopping $68 million to an address-poisoning scam. But plot twist, the scammer returned the money after his potential Hong Kong-based IP addresses were traced. Talk about a change of heart!💔

Address poisoning scams might seem avoidable, but most traders only check the first and last digits of the wallet's 42 characters. Scammers exploit this by creating similar-looking addresses.
