On December 21, #以太坊行情解读 , the Ethereum Community Fund spoke out on social media, providing protective advice regarding the recent phishing case involving a large sum of 50 million USDT.



They pointed out an easily overlooked detail: many people are accustomed to using ellipses "..." to simplify the display of wallet addresses, showing only the first few characters and the last few characters. However, such practice gives scammers an opportunity — they can forge addresses that look very similar to deceive users.

The solution is actually not complicated - display the complete address information. In this way, when transferring mainstream assets like $ETH, $SOL, $BNB , users can clearly verify each character, fundamentally eliminating confusion caused by address similarity.

This advice is equally applicable to exchange users. When verifying addresses, don't be lazy; check each digit one by one. This is the most direct way to protect your assets.
ETH0.53%
SOL-0.22%
BNB0.33%

It's the same old story of "checking the full address" again. Only after losing 50 million USDT do they remember to take precautions? Hilarious, we suckers are just the ones using ellipses, and the scammers rely on this to get rich.

Another wave of scams has exploded, this time 50 million USDT is gone... we really need to be more cautious and not take shortcuts.

It's the old problem of address verification again. This time, the lesson of 50 million USDT must be remembered... This ellipsis trick really can't stop scammers. I usually just copy and paste the entire address, too lazy to look at those... fancy stuff at the beginning and end.

It's phishing with addresses again... This trick really should be outdated. I've long shown the full address, that ellipsis trap is really just asking for trouble.
