A Copy & Paste Crypto Malware Scam has come to our attention recently that some crypto users face continued threats from clipboard hijacker malware which secretly changes copied wallet addresses.
A sample of the scam:
- Copy the assigned crypto wallet address from the trading platform’s copy function: 0xde8 ******* c0
|
- Paste the clipboard-copied wallet address
|
- The wallet address has changed, and the transaction can be intercepted: 0x5192 ******* 1e9
|
Do • Install and keep up-to-date antivirus software running.
• Double check the destination crypto wallet address of a transaction if this has been entered using a copy-paste function.
