According to CoinDesk, a wallet that hadn't transferred any funds since the Ethereum genesis block in 2015 became active for the first time on November 9th. Less than three minutes after testing a transfer of 0.05 ETH to a new address, it was attacked by an automated address poisoning attack. The attackers quickly generated phishing addresses with similar first and last characters to the legitimate recipient address and implanted them into the wallet's transaction history through dozens of small transfers, attempting to trick the user into copying the wrong address. However, the wallet was not fooled and successfully transferred 2,154.94 ETH (approximately $4.6 million) to the correct address approximately 38 minutes after the initial test transfer. On-chain data shows that one of the phishing addresses sent 43 small transactions. [https://www.wublock123.com/news/ethereum-genesis-whale-wakes-after-11-years-hacker-3min-460k-eth-risk-71664]
