🚨 Crypto Security Alert: What Is Clipboard Hijacking?
Clipboard hijacking is one of the most dangerous and stealthy malware attacks in crypto. It silently waits on your device, ready to swap your wallet address with the hacker’s the moment you copy it — and one wrong paste can cost you everything.
🔹 How the Attack Works
– The moment you copy a wallet address, the malware instantly detects and replaces it with the attacker’s address.
– When you paste, you’re actually sending funds straight to the thief.
🔸 The Scary Part: It Looks Real
Hackers often generate fake addresses that start with the same first 4–6 characters as your original one.
If you only glance at the beginning and end — you’re already trapped.
🔹 The Damage Is Permanent
Once the transaction hits the blockchain, it’s irreversible.
Every coin you sent is gone — forever.
🔸 How to Protect Yourself
🔐 Always check the entire wallet address — or at least verify random characters in the middle.
🛡️ Enable withdrawal address whitelist on exchanges to block unknown wallets.
🚫 Avoid cracked software, pirated games, and unknown downloads — these are the biggest infection sources.
Have you ever pasted a wallet address and noticed it didn’t match the one you copied?
Stay alert — one second of carelessness can lead to permanent loss.
