A tiny unsolicited deposit in your wallet can be the first step in an attempt to deanonymize you.
Attackers send a small amount of crypto to many wallets, then track the funds when you move them together with your own.
It is a privacy attack, not a theft by itself. The goal is to link your wallet to your identity for later targeting.
Do not move or combine the dust with your own funds. Leave it alone and consider using privacy tools if it recurs.
