“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.
