“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.

💡 The Lesson: 🔐 Use a password-protected clipboard monitor
🧽 Clear your clipboard often
✅ Double-check every single wallet address before hitting “Send”
Hackers don’t need your password — just your copy/paste.
