A $50 test transfer was followed by a $50M mistake It started with a small test transfer A victim sent $50 to a familiar address Everything looked correct Nothing appeared wrong This is not a protocol failure This is not a smart contract exploit This is about how one transaction changed the outcome The setup Shortly after the test A 0005 USDC dust payment arrived The sender address looked almost identical Same prefix Same ending characters The wallet UI placed it next to the original address No warnings appeared The mistake The victim copied the address from the dust payment Not the original destination The second transaction followed The full balance was sent $49999950 moved in a single transfer The address was wrong But it looked right What actually happened This pattern matches address poisoning behavior Attackers send small dust transfers They rely on human pattern recognition They wait for copy paste behavior Nothing was hacked No keys were compromised The chain did exactly what it was told to do Why this keeps working Wallets optimize for speed Humans optimize for familiarity Visual similarity replaces verification History replaces confirmation The test transfer created confidence The dust transfer exploited it What remains unresolved No exploit was triggered No rule was broken The funds moved correctly Just not where the victim intended How many similar cases go unnoticed And how many safeguards still rely on human attention alone. $XRP $USDC
