Caution: Address Contamination and Misdirected Transfers After Binance Resu

Binance has begun phased resumption of withdrawals following a security review, with the first stage of restored withdrawals scheduled between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. Korea Standard Time on the 1st, applied to assets and networks that have completed security checks. The announcement comes as security observers, including BlockBeats, warn of a surge in address-poisoning attacks timed to the heavy withdrawal period. In these attacks, scammers create fake addresses mimicking the first and last four characters of a victim's real address, then send small "dust" transactions so the fraudulent address appears in the victim's transaction history, hoping users will copy it for future transfers. The risk of misdirected transfers is elevated as users move funds off the exchange in bulk. Investors and users should verify full wallet addresses character-by-character before sending funds, and watch for further Binance notices on which assets and networks are cleared for withdrawal in subsequent phases.
