How can I prevent falling victim to address poisoning?

[ed]

To protect yourself:

Double-check addresses manually before sending funds.

Use hardware wallets to sign transactions, which often display the destination address for confirmation.

Enable address whitelisting in exchanges or wallets if available.

Avoid clicking links in messages or emails claiming to be crypto-related.

Keep your software up to date, including wallets and browser extensions, to prevent malware exploits.

These steps make it much harder for attackers to redirect your funds to a malicious address.

hardware wallets are a lifesaver, nothing beats seeing the address before signing

Don't be lazy and copy address from blockchain.
