Ethereum address poisoning attacks have intensified, becoming increasingly industrialized following the December 3 Fusaka upgrade, which reduced transaction costs. According to Etherscan, the scale of attacks on the Ethereum network has significantly expanded, with USDT dust transfers surging by 612%. Between July 2022 and June 2024, approximately 17 million poisoning attempts were recorded, resulting in confirmed losses exceeding $79.3 million.
Attackers employ automated systems to generate spoof addresses and use low-value dust transfers or zero-value transactions to obscure transaction histories. Despite a low individual attack success rate of about 0.01%, the attackers achieve substantial profits through large-scale competitive operations.
