Researcher: The recent surge in Ethereum's activity may be related to address poisoning attacks

The recent surge in Ethereum network activity may be related to address poisoning attacks utilizing low Gas fees. The number of new addresses has reached 2.7 million, which is 170% higher than normal levels, with a daily transaction volume exceeding 2.5 million. The Fusaka network upgrade has reduced transaction fees by over 60%, leading to a decrease in the cost of such large-scale spam attacks. Currently, 3.8 million addresses have received such dust assets in their first transaction, accounting for 67% of the new addresses. So far, 116 victims have lost over $740,000 as a result.
