Slow Fog Cosine: Using wallet whitelist mechanisms and combining hardware wallets for dual verification can resist "transaction record pollution attacks."

ChainCatcher message, Slow Mist's Yu Xian disclosed that the phishing technique of poisoning addresses with similar starting and ending numbers is still widespread, severely impacting the security infrastructure of the blockchain industry.Yu Xian pointed out that this type of poisoning targeting wallet transaction history mainly involves various techniques, including fake token contract codes emitting false event logs to deceive block explorers and wallets, as well as using zero-amount transfer event logs to arbitrarily fill in addresses in the from/to fields. These techniques can mislead users into believing that the transactions are from their own actions. Other common techniques include sending small amounts of funds from source addresses with the same starting and ending characters, combining clipboard hijacking technology, and impersonating well-known decentralized exchanges to output false event logs.Yu Xian recommends that users make good use of wallet whitelisting mechanisms, carefully verify complete addresses, and combine well-known hardware wallets for dual verification as defensive measures.Previously reported, two addresses suffered "transaction history pollution attacks" in the past 14 hours, resulting in a total loss of over $140,000.
