How to Protect Yourself From Ethereum Dust Scams
-

Ethereum users can reduce the risk of address-poisoning attacks by following a few key precautions. Never copy addresses from transaction histories—always get them directly from the recipient. Check the entire string character by character before confirming transactions, and use whitelists and labels to save trusted addresses in your wallet.
For larger or unfamiliar transfers, sending a small test amount first can prevent catastrophic losses. Wallets with scam detection and spam filters can also help flag suspicious dust transactions. While dust transfers can sometimes be legitimate, the surge post-Fusaka highlights the importance of vigilance in Ethereum transactions.
