If you’re involved in crypto gambling or make regular blockchain transactions, you need to hear this.
A few months ago, I fell victim to clipboard hijacking malware — a form of malicious software that silently replaces copied cryptocurrency addresses on your clipboard with addresses controlled by attackers.
Here's how it happened. I copied a BTC deposit address from a crypto casino account and pasted it into my Exodus wallet to make a deposit. Everything seemed normal until I noticed later that the Bitcoin never arrived in my casino account.
To investigate, I copied the same address from the casino site again and pasted it into Notepad. That’s when I saw the problem: the address that had been pasted earlier wasn’t the same one I had copied. At that moment, it became clear that clipboard malware was involved
it had silently switched the BTC address on my clipboard. This is a subtle but dangerous kind of attack. If you're not paying attention, it's incredibly easy to fall for and as we all know, crypto transactions are irreversible.
