Address poisoning

What crypto means by it

An attacker sends you a dust transaction from an address that looks like one you use, hoping you copy it out of your history next time. Always check the whole address, not the first and last four characters.

What you already know this as

A fraudulent invoice with the account number changed by two digits. Same trick, older than computers.
