Trader loses nearly $50M in USDT to address poisoning after copying a lookalike address from history
On 20 December 2025 a trader sent a 50 USDT test to the correct address, then 26 minutes later sent 49,999,950 USDT on Ethereum to a lookalike address the attacker had planted in their transaction history. The fake matched the first five and last four characters of the real address. Within 30 minutes the funds were swapped to DAI, then to about 16,690 ETH, and almost all of it went into Tornado Cash. Always check the full address, not just the start and end.
