Question

Just noticed something of great concern on TRONScan. Under ‘transfers’

I’m seeing recent attempts to transfer USDT out of my wallet (not authorised by me) to an address that has been marked by the network as fraudulent. These are the same sorts of addresses that send sub zero deposits to your wallet after you make a deposit.

Luckily I have an extra layer of protection that prevented my funds leaving my account, although the unauthorised txs are showing as ‘confirmed’ on the block?

Do I take this to mean that my wallet has been compromised? Or is there something else happening on the blockchain that we should know about? And more importantly, what do and / TRON need to do to prevent this happening again?

I also noticed that my energy is much lower than 6 hrs ago when I made my last tx. It should’ve topped up considerably by now but is even less than earlier today – without me having used it since?

Thanks. I know of the fake transfers IN, which I always ignore. I’m now seeing attempted USDT withdrawals OUT of my wallet (from same wallets that make the fake deposits). These txs show as ‘confirmed’ on the block, although no money has left my wallet. I believe these fraudulent withdrawals failed because of the added layer of protection I have via my cold wallet. Still, I can’t help wondering … This is why I asked if there could be a compromise somewhere? I only connect to legit sites and don’t have a TRONLink pass phrase (‘cos of the cold wallet sync).

So you’re saying that even if I didn’t have an added layer of protection, the fraudulent withdrawals would still have failed to go through? As you can appreciate, this is a v important security issue, which is why I’m consciously asking the right questions to fully understand the extent of how these scam activities may / can / do impact wallet holders.

Transfer operation with a zero value is always confirmed and validated. This is how every blockchain handle it. No security issue since it’s 0 value

It wasn’t zero value. It was the exact value of USDT that I’d just transferred into my TRONLink wallet. And I noticed a couple other similar unauthorised – and so far failed – withdrawals like this. The recent pattern has been: I transfer USDT in, I immediately receive those fraudulent ~zero deposits, and then an unauthorised attempt is made to withdraw the exact amt of USDT I’d deposited from my wallet. See why I’m genuinely concerned now?

Yup. These txs also only show under the ‘transfers’ tab on TRONScan, not the ‘transactions’ tab. Which is why I hadn’t detected them sooner. I’ve double checked again and only txs I’ve authorised have left my wallet. And I’m 💯 sure that this would’ve been a diff. story had I not had extra protection. How am I to know that if I generate new wallet addresses and create a new TRONLink wallet, this won’t happen again. That’s why I’m probing whether there’s a compromise somewhere within the network, ‘cos there’s been no breach my end. I’m responsible & cautious when conducting my txs. Maybe others may report similar cases.

It’s common to all blockchain in the world. There are fake transaction to dupe people. They expect people to send USDT to the address they use to simulate a transaction with 0 USDT. Your wallet is safe. But on TronLink and tronscan, we are lucky because you are warned that they are fraudulent transactions and you should ignore them 👍🏻
