Genesis-era Ethereum wallet moves millions after a decade, scam attempts follow within minutes

An address funded in Ethereum's first block sent its first outbound transaction, and unsolicited scam-linked activity showed up almost immediately An Ethereum wallet that had sat untouched for more than ten years finally sent its first transaction late Monday. Within minutes, it attracted scam-linked activity it never asked for. The address, 0x7dDd57165c87A2707f025DCFC2508c09834759Bc, dates back to the network’s very first block. After a small test transfer, it moved nearly 2,155 ETH, valued at approximately $4.57 million to $4.59 million, to a fresh address 38 minutes later. This address is about as old as Ethereum addresses get.
