A TON blockchain whale accidentally sent 126,000 TON, worth about $220,000, to a scammer’s fake wallet created through a dusting attack, which uses tiny transactions to identify and target wallets. The scammer returned 116,000 TON (around $203,000) but kept 10,000 TON ($17,000) as a “fee,” even leaving a message apologizing for taking it. The incident highlights the rising risks of wallet impersonation on the TON network and underscores the importance of carefully verifying addresses before sending large amounts.
