Justin Sun calls HTX address-poisoning reports ‘made up’

Justin Sun has dismissed reports concerning alleged address-poisoning activity linked to HTX, calling the claims “made up,” according to CryptoRank. The statement pushes back against circulating allegations involving the crypto exchange and transaction-address manipulation.

Address poisoning is a type of crypto scam in which attackers send small transactions from wallet addresses designed to resemble addresses a user has interacted with before. The tactic can lead users to mistakenly copy and send funds to an attacker-controlled address, rather than the intended recipient.

HTX is a cryptocurrency exchange, while Sun is a prominent figure in the digital-asset industry. The exchange-related reports highlight the continuing security risks around wallet transactions, where users are generally encouraged to verify full destination addresses before transferring assets.

No additional details on the alleged incidents, including any affected users, transactions, or potential losses, were included in the available report. Sun’s response characterizes the address-poisoning reports involving HTX as false.
