Mars Finance News: Casa's Chief Security Officer Jameson Lopp warned about Bitcoin address poisoning attacks, which use fake addresses with characters similar to a user's historical address to trick users into sending funds to the wrong address. Lopp analyzed that these attacks have been active since July 2023, with nearly 48,000 related transactions to date. According to Cyvers data, such attacks have caused losses exceeding $1.2 million by March 2025. Lopp urged users to carefully verify the complete address before sending funds and called on wallet interfaces to optimize and avoid hiding the middle part of addresses. (Cointelegraph)
