Kraken Says Users Received ‘Dust’ From Sanctioned HTX Wallet

“Recent dust attacks from HTX-owned wallets appear to be an attempt to spread UK- and EU-sanctioned funds to other platforms in order to discredit the broader industry,” the Kraken spokesperson continued.

When a dust attack sats land in my wallet, I can simply decide what to do about them. If they land in an exchange account, the exchange block your bitcoin. “it triggers a full account lock, causing operational disruption for a large number of users,” a Kraken spokesperson said.

Never forget, not your keys, not your cheese.
