Ever noticed getting random USDC dust right after a transfer? There's actually a system behind it. Scammers harvest wallet addresses from on-chain transactions, then execute airdrop attacks targeting those addresses with worthless tokens. The operation becomes profitable once someone inevitably interacts with one of those tokens—that single mistake gives attackers access to the wallet. It's a numbers game: they hit thousands of addresses betting that someone will click, approve, or swap without reading the contract. A solid reminder to always verify before approving any token interaction.

Bro, I just want to say, this kind of dust attack has been common for a long time. The key issue is that people are too greedy; they see airdrops and want to click on them. They truly deserve to be exploited.

Bro, I've seen this combo punch way too many times, and someone always falls for it... Seriously, just approving a token without even checking the contract, they really deserve to be benched and educated.

Damn, is this the same trick again? I've seen this before. Always make sure to carefully review the contract before approving. Really, don't rush.
