Clipboard hijackers

Malware that swaps a wallet address you copied for the attacker's address when you paste it.

What it means
The swapped address often matches the first and last few characters, so a quick look can miss it and the coins go to the attacker.
What to watch
A pasted address that differs anywhere from the one you copied; compare more than the start and end, and send a small test amount first.
