“My Clipboard Got Hacked — and I Had No Idea”
A friend of mine lost $9,700 worth of ETH in an instant.
He copied his wallet address to withdraw funds from an exchange,
Pasted it into MetaMask, clicked "Send" —
💸 And just like that, the ETH vanished.
When he checked the transaction details,
The wallet address wasn’t his. 😳
It looked right — same first and last characters —
But it had been swapped out.
Turns out he had clipboard malware.
Every time he copied a crypto address,
It quietly replaced it with the hacker’s.
He only found out after the damage was done.

💡 Takeaway:
🔐 Use a secure, password-protected clipboard tool
🧽 Clear your clipboard regularly
✅ Always verify the full wallet address before hitting “Send”
Hackers don’t always need your password — just access to what you copy and paste.
