140 ETH Stolen in Address Poisoning — Reinforce Wallet Hygiene

I observed a user fall victim to an address poisoning attack and mistakenly send 140 ETH, losing roughly $636,000. This is a costly reminder that UX weaknesses and copy-paste attacks remain a major on‑chain risk.

I believe the incident highlights two practical risks: lookalike or poisoned addresses can bypass casual checks, and large transfers without testing are particularly vulnerable. Recovery on‑chain is unlikely without attacker cooperation, so prevention is the primary defense.

I urge immediate changes to wallet behavior: always verify addresses with multiple methods, use hardware wallets and whitelists for large transfers, and perform small test transactions before sending significant sums.
