I just found out about this few weeks ago. I was surprised when I did.
I have some shitcoins in my trustwallet. I bought some of them based on risks so that I don’t hate myself when shitcoins become a big deal in the future. I spent a total of $60 getting them so I don’t regret it in case they go south. Apparently there is shitcoin chart named poocoin chart, the chart also has its own native shitcoin token. With the chart you can check all Shitcoin’s price including the hidden coins in your wallet.
While surfing the platform I found two shitcoins in my wallet and I have no idea how they got there.
Free money scare me sometimes
I had to ask people on Reddit and telegram because I didn’t understand how my wallet address was sent those coins. Some suggested it’s the way shitcoins do their own awareness so you can be curious and search about the coin. That’s their own way of publicity stunt. While some suggested it’s a dust attack and I shouldn’t trade it nor send it.
What is a Dusting Attack you may ask?
Dusting attack is new kind of malicious way hackers and scammers try to get access into a crypto user’s wallet by sending insignificant amount of coins to their wallet. These tiny pieces of coins try to break the privacy of the wallet and enable the hackers able to track down the activities of the user. Most times they send a link along with the coin telling you to click it to be claimed or check your eligibility. Just like the image below
