How to lose tens of millions due to carelessness 💸
Someone lost $68 million worth of crypto (1,155 WBTC) by copying/pasting the wrong address. This happened due to "address poisoning" 😱

This scam relies on the sender overlooking the discrepancy in the intervening characters and simply sending money to the scammer… And this is exactly what happened this time 🫡
