Over $740K stolen as Ethereum address poisoning wave hits 1.5M wallets by January 19 2026

Ethereum is experiencing a large address poisoning campaign that has already dusted over 1.5M wallets and stolen more than $740K from 116 victims. One user lost about $510K in the largest single incident, as attackers exploited low transaction fees after the Fusaka upgrade to send vast numbers of spam transfers. The activity is driven by several smart contracts that flood users with tiny stablecoin amounts and fake history entries, increasing the risk of misdirected transactions.
