Dusting attacks rise following Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade

Dusting attacks using stablecoins have increased following Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade late last year, Cointelegraph reported. These attacks now account for 11% of all transactions and 26% of active addresses. Before the upgrade, the figures were approximately 3% to 5% of total transactions and 15% to 20% of active addresses. The increase is attributed to lower transaction fees resulting from the upgrade. Dusting is a type of attack in which hackers send small amounts of tokens to random addresses to track wallets or cause disruption.
