What dusting is
A dusting attack sends a tiny amount of crypto to many addresses. Analysts then trace how the dust moves to link addresses to identities.
Why it matters
De-anonymized addresses can be targeted with tailored phishing, or bundled into scam campaigns like address poisoning.
How to respond
Do not interact with unknown dust. Avoid consolidating it with your main funds. Treat any linked "claim" or memo as phishing.
