SlowMist: Some Users Suffered from an Airdrop Scam

SlowMist tweeted that some users suffered from an airdrop scam. The hackers target victims who make large transactions and transfers, after which they generate an address identical to the victim's address and periodically airdrop small amounts of money to the victim's address. Due to the similarity of addresses, it is highly likely that the victim will copy the wrong address when transferring funds and thus transfer large amounts of money to the hacker's address.
