Dusting attacks: tiny transfers that track and target you

A dusting attack sends a tiny amount of crypto to many addresses. Analysts then trace how the dust moves to link addresses to identities.

De-anonymized addresses can be targeted with tailored phishing, or bundled into scam campaigns like address poisoning.

Do not interact with unknown dust. Avoid consolidating it with your main funds. Treat any linked "claim" or memo as phishing.
