There are a number of digital wallets that have combined a kind of protection to inform users in the event of a Dusting Attack attack. The process is clearly marked and identified as suspicious.

[CryptoMaxim 2372]

To be honest, I never thought about it. What kind of wallet and what kind of crypto-coin do you mean ?

[iloveyobit 6599]

It did not happen to me that I had received the wrong money or something like that. Maybe the possibility is that you participated in Airdrop and you finally got it.

[Mercello Blyat 21]

Digital means data, virtual and immaterial; it's black and white, crisply demarcated, perfectly defined. Dust is grey, and deeply, existentially fuzzy.This argument has three parts: first, the desire for the digital to become dust in the form of sensor devices shrinking to a tiny, dusty scale.

Dusting attacks were initially performed on bitcoin but they also occur with other cryptocurrencies that run on any public blockchain.  This allows attackers to link addresses and ultimately identify companies or individuals behind the wallet addresses. 

I didn't even know something like this happens. What should we do when we see a dust attack on our wallet? It didn't ever happen to me yet and I hope it won't... Does that mean your assets are in danger?

[Hanan951 841]

Hmm I never notice that you may did an airdrops or left your wallet in a public place .

[doanvahauvk 34]

I think those dust are leftovers from a transactions that have been lost tune on the market or capably tomorrow floating inside the marketplace and anyone who has science can employment it.

I sometimes notice that a minor quantity of currency gets to my wallet but I don't problem about it. I don't cause this theme any importance.  But according to your lexis we be required to reflect about the reasons for this and how to guard from the risks of this.

Digital dust might be spam.It's very bad to see.If computer is attacked with dust.It'll be really very harmful.so,digital dust is thread to us.we might be very careful about it.   

[SanjidaAkterSanju 69]

Digital dust in this platform. I think when you don’t count the time length. And keep posting or commenting immediately after one and another. It may not count as post. Then it will became digital dust.               

[Neymer jr 19]

In fact, I have no idea about it.  I once heard about it.  I would like to know more about it.  If anyone knows this well please tell me. It would be great for me to know about it.

Yes I agree I sometimes notice that a small amount of currency gets to my wallet but I don't care about it.

Usually, the owners of digital currency portfolios are not interested in these very small quantities, but care must be taken because this allows the hacker to link the addresses that you deal with and to know the number of your portfolios.

[Upright 2688]

First thing I hardly or I've ever been to witness such, as a the dust Satoshi which might have increased would not really be seen easily, but, what I can tell is, that I've not witness to that on my Bitcoin account, since when using coinbase you get notified of any received or went coins through an email

How do we avoid the risks of this phenomenon?

Generate a new address for each transaction. Though for safekeeping for long-term holding, it is advisable to stay away from online hot wallets, since this would be the weak point in dusting attack (collecting information about the address). Store serious amounts of coins on safer, offline wallets.

[andrehol 16294]

Perhaps someone mistakenly indicated the address of your electronic wallet when transferring. As you know, a transaction cannot be undone. The address of your cryptocurrency wallet is not classified information. I don’t think your bitcoins are in danger.

[Whited35 15285]

I have no experience but you know very well reputed exchange already have the minimum payment limit. They do not credit the amount on the account if the minimum threshold has not met. So there are no possibility for the hackers to send small amounts. 

[Joni888 23]

May be i am wrong, As a matter of fact it transpired once, yet I got hacked due to somebody saved a measure of etherium in my myetherwallet after that he pull back some measure of coins to his wallet, and I comprehended that this store was made by him to cover the charges of withdrawa

[sohan78980 1]

I have a small amount of coins but I don't care. But according to you, we must know the reasons and how to avoid it

[Ruqaiyah 1]

Digital dust, i.e. the sending of small amounts of currencies to digital portfolios, is one way of trying to penetrate and monitor wallet owners ' transactions.

The digital pirates recently realized that bitcoin users don't care about these small amounts that appear in their wallets, so they started the process of Dusting a large number of addresses by sending some Satoshi to it and then began tracking these money and all transactions for those wallets. 

The advanced privateers as of late understood that bitcoin clients dont care about these limited quantities that show up in their wallets so they began the way toward Dusting countless locations by sending some Satoshi to it and afterward started following these cash and all exchanges for those wallets

[Saj555 2250]

At the time of transactions or withdrawal a tiny number of amount remains still in the e blockchain system. That is called the dust. But the total number of this dust is quite also in a huge amount. They are trying also to recover this.

Something strange happened to me some time ago, when I noticed that small quantities of a cryptocurrency had arrived in my wallet, which did not exceed a few cents.  I was amazed at this, and upon researching and exploring, I discovered what is called digital dust.  A Dusting attack is defined as a new type of malicious activity in which hackers attempt to violate the privacy of Bitcoin users and cryptocurrencies by sending small amounts of currency to their personal wallets and many Bitcoin owners believe that their identity is well protected from attempts to infiltrate and view their transactions  Unfortunately, this is not true.

Did it happen with you like this?  That is, to have currencies link you to your digital wallets without knowing their source? 

Is this dangerous as I read it? 

How do we avoid the risks of this phenomenon?

 

Thank you for notifying us mate. I have never heard of this "Digital Dust" thing. But it seems to be dangerous and could affect us all 😓.
