On-chain analyst Specter said a series of address poisoning attacks on the Tron network over the past four weeks has led to losses of about $9.4 million across 15 victims. Two victims each lost $2.5 million, while another lost $2 million. According to Specter, the attacker quickly swapped all stolen assets into the stablecoin USDD after each theft and moved the funds to a collection address, where the money remains. Specter urged wallet service providers in the Tron ecosystem to put blocking measures in place as soon as possible and advised users to carefully verify recipient addresses before making transfers. The disclosure points to a sustained attack pattern on Tron rather than a single isolated incident.
