Address Poisoning Costly: 140 ETH Lost — Strengthen Address Verification

I observed a user lose 140 ETH (≈$636k) after falling victim to an address poisoning attack — they copied a malicious address and sent funds to the attacker. This was a costly operational security failure, not a protocol bug.

I believe this incident highlights how easily human errors and UI/UX vulnerabilities can be exploited in crypto: address replacement in clipboard, fake links, or look-alike addresses remain effective attack vectors.

I recommend immediate containment and prevention measures: check transaction history and blockchain explorers for the exact flow, report to the receiving services and relevant authorities, and adopt strict address verification habits — use hardware wallets, ENS or address book checks, always send a small test amount first, and use wallet address verification tools.
