“They Hacked My Clipboard — And I Didn’t Even Notice”
This happened to a friend who lost $9,700 in ETH in seconds.
He copied his wallet address to withdraw funds from an exchange.
Pasted it into MetaMask. Hit send.
💸 ETH gone.
But when he checked the transaction hash…
The address he pasted wasn’t his. 😳
Turns out, he had a clipboard malware installed.
Every time he copied a wallet address, it silently replaced it with the hacker’s.
It looked almost identical — same first and last digits.
He only realized it after the losss.

🧽 Clear your clipboard often
✅ Double-check every single wallet address before hitting “Send”

They Hacked My Clipboard — And I Had No Idea 😳”
This isn’t a random story.
It happened to a friend — and it cost him $9,700 in $ETH . Gone in seconds.
Here’s how:
He copied his wallet address to withdraw ETH from an exchange.
Pasted it into MetaMask. Hit send. ✅
But the $ETH never reached him.
He checked the transaction hash…
The wallet address looked right — same first 6 and last 4 characters.
But it wasn’t his. 😨
Turns out he had a clipboard hijacker installed.
Every time he copied a crypto address, it silently swapped it with the hacker’s.
No warning. No pop-up. Just copy → paste → theft.
He only noticed when it was too late.
