A Malicious Transaction is a digital asset operation executed with fraudulent intent, aiming to defraud users or compromise a system. This can involve sending funds to a wrong address via social engineering, executing a smart contract exploit, or performing a double-spend attack. Such transactions are designed to illicitly gain control over assets or disrupt network integrity. Identifying and preventing malicious transactions is a primary concern for blockchain security.
