Paidun: One address lost 10,000 BUSD due to "zero transfer scam"

BlockBeats news: On August 26, according to Paidun monitoring, the address starting with 0x0722 became a victim of the zero transfer scam and lost 10,000 BUSD stablecoins.

BlockBeats Note: "Zero transfer phishing attack" is an attack method that has basically no technical content but is very easy to be attacked. The attacker uses an address with the same first and last letters and numbers as the target address (only the middle letter is different) to transfer 0 tokens to complete the "poisoning" action. When users transfer money, due to negligence or because some dApps omit the address content in pursuit of beautiful UI interfaces, it is very easy to confuse the hacker address with the address originally planned to transfer money, thereby "actively" transferring assets to the hacker address.
