The most talked about hacking incident of recent times took place last week. In this incident, an investor was attacked by a hacker while trying to send Bitcoin to his own address, and he sent WBTC worth $71 million to the hacker with his own hands. 
As a week passed after the hack, the hacker relented and made a consolation payment to the person whose WBTC he stole. 
According to Lookonchain's post, the hacker made a refund and has returned a total of 4,676 Ethereum-ETH (worth $14.2 million) piece by piece so far.

<h2 id="what-happened">What Happened?</h2> 
One person lost 1,155 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), worth over $71 million, due to a phishing attack known as 'address poisoning'. 
This person initially sent 0.05 ETH to an account he created. This person, who had no problems with this transaction, later sent WBTC worth 71 million. However, he sent it to the address created by the hacker, not to his own wallet. 
Because when this person sent ETH for trial purposes, his address became visible in the transaction history. The hacker who followed this person created a similar address by making the letters at the beginning and end the same. 
This person, who fell into the hacker's trap, sent all his WBTC to an address very similar to his own. 
If this person had fully checked the entire address, perhaps they would not have lost their Bitcoins. 
*This is not investment advice.
