Ethereum activity surge could be linked to dusting attacks: Researcher

Recent record network activity on Ethereum could be partially linked to a wave of address poisoning attacks taking advantage of extremely low gas fees, said security researcher Andrey Sergeenkov.

Cointelegraph reported on Friday that network activity retention nearly doubled to 8 million addresses in a month, while daily transactions hit an all-time high of almost 2.9 million.

The week starting Jan. 12 saw 2.7 million new addresses, 170% higher than typical values, while daily transactions surged to over 2.5 million, said Sergeenkov.
