A dust attack is a type of malicious tactic where an attacker sends small amounts of cryptocurrency (dust) to a large number of wallet addresses. The goal is to track the movements of these small amounts in an attempt to link wallet addresses and potentially deanonymize users. By observing transaction patterns, attackers can try to associate wallets with individuals, undermining privacy.
Although dust attacks don’t involve stealing funds, they can compromise the privacy of users who wish to remain anonymous. These attacks highlight the importance of transaction privacy in the cryptocurrency space, where even small interactions can reveal sensitive information about users and their holdings.
