Topic: What is dusting attack and how to understand? (Read 79 times)

I would like to share some information with you in this regard.

 By dusting attack we mean small funds.  By small fund, I mean 5-10 Satoshi.  When we trade, after a full trade, a small amount remains in our balance, and we can call that amount Dust Amount.
 Many will say that the small amount that remains after trading, and because of that amount we can be a victim of dusting attack.  I wouldn't say that's why you won't be the victim of a dusting attack.
 So now we know how to understand Dusting Attack
 When we suddenly or unexpectedly receive a small amount in our original balance, we must understand that it is a dusting attack.  Unexpectedly, no one sent you an amount you know.  And if someone sends an amount to someone, then no one will send such a small amount.
 Because hackers send such a small amount that the amount will not be of any use to you, 10-12 Satoshi amount will do something, or nothing will happen.  They send this small amount and keep the tracking on that address.
 Dusting Attacks are usually individual or group based.  So it is very important to keep our wallet and exchange transactions or our personal information safe from third parties.
 Because there are many types of scammers in the crypto world.  So it is very important to keep your information secret in the crypto world.
 We already know what a dust amount can be and how to understand the effects of a dusting attack.
 Now we will learn how to keep ourselves safe from dusting attack.
 At first, the danger is unknown: hackers usually send a very small amount and after they send that amount, they are able to track the address very easily.  Because when you send an amount to someone, you can easily track their address.  And this is why hackers start tracking the address by sending this small amount.  And if they can track you and find out all the information, then you will easily be hacked by them.  When they are able to find all your information, they will endanger you by phishing attacks.
 To give an example, almost all of us know about Binary Exchange and trade using it.
 The debacle hit Dusting Attack on the Lightcoin network on August 6, 2019, and they were able to point it out two days later.
 Many may question which wallet or exchange can be a dusting attack?
 I will tell them that you can be a victim of dusting attack on all wallets and all exchange sites.
 But we have a wallet on the exchange site and that wallet also has a dusting attack.  And personal wallet means trust wallet.  Personal wallets and exchange wallets can be the victim of this attack.
 A few words for Exchange Wallet users: Hackers can't make much profit by dusting off on Exchange Wallet users.  Because we know that Exchange Wallet has the advantage of multiple addresses.  As a result, the address changes when you make a new deposit.  And because of this, hackers are not able to hack the user.
 And personal wallet users are a little at risk, because the address of the personal wallet does not change, and if hackers are able to find out the identity of the user in the personal wallet, he could be in great danger and all his information could be leaked.


 Now we will know how to stay safe from dusting attack
 If you come across dusting on the exchange site, you can take 2fa and whitelist your withdrawal.  And you can inform the authorities of the exchange for this, they will solve all these problems.  And you can change the password.
 And the way you stay safe in your personal wallet, when you make a new transaction, you will change the address and make 2fa of the wallet.
