Crypto Investor Loses $2.6M in USDT Scam

Crypto investor loses $2.6 million in USDT due to address poisoning scam over three hours without major market impact.

Investors face rising risks from sophisticated crypto scams, affecting individuals without broader market disruption.

The incident involved a crypto investor who was defrauded of $2.6 million in USDT through an address poisoning scam. Within three hours, the attackers employed zero-value transfers to deceive the investor and exploit trust in transaction logs.

Cyvers, a blockchain security firm, reported that the attackers used a spoofed wallet address that mimicked a legitimate one. This technique made it easy for the victim to mistake the attacker’s address for a trusted one.

The scam had significant immediate financial effects on the investor involved, but there was no evidence of systemic risk to broader markets. Other major digital assets or DeFi protocols were not affected.

“A crypto investor lost $2.6M in stablecoins after falling victim to a sophisticated double phishing scam that exploited zero-value transfers.” — Cyvers Twitter

Market reactions were subdued as the incident was relatively isolated, leading to no immediate systemic impacts. Regulatory bodies have not yet commented or issued guidance on this particular event.

In recent years, address poisoning scams have spiked, with historical trends showing a notable event in November 2024. Such scams primarily target stablecoins like USDT, without causing wider market implications.
