#网络钓鱼与欺诈 Seeing the 50 million USDT phishing case, I am reminded of the many similar stories I have encountered over the years. Victims are often intelligent people who slip up over a seemingly minor detail—the truncated address.

The essence of this incident is actually quite heartbreaking: we are accustomed to convenience, but in that convenience, hidden dangers are lurking. When copying and pasting, seeing "0xbaf4...B649" seems fine, but unaware that scammers have carefully generated deceptive addresses with matching start and end characters. The risk is hidden in our visual blind spots.

Let me honestly say, this is not about blaming the victims. On the contrary, it’s a reminder to everyone—including myself—that we need to develop a few simple but lifesaving habits:

**Verify the full address.** Before each transfer, carefully check the entire address and do not rely on truncated displays. You can compare each character with a notebook; it may seem troublesome, but it’s the most cost-effective insurance.

**Confirm across multiple chains and wallets.** Verify address information on different block explorers and cross-check from multiple angles. Spending an extra minute can increase asset security tenfold.

**Maintain a vigilant mindset.** The larger the amount, the more cautious you should be. This is not paranoia; it’s responsible attitude towards your assets.

A truly prudent investor never loses at the final moment. Security education always comes before expected returns. The cost of this money is high, but it rings an alarm for everyone.
