Etherscan Now Hides Certain Transactions to Minimize Scams

Ethereum blockchain explorer Etherscan has announced an optional feature to hide zero-value token transfers to protect investors from address poisoning attacks. This type of attack occurs when scammers send a very small amount of crypto to an address they wish to exploit, hoping the wallet owner will mistakenly copy the wrong address and send funds to their scam account. The feature is optional and can be disabled.
