Any idea where you caught that virus?

And add your frequently used address in your wallet address book so you don’t have to copy paste all the time :+1:

Mmmmm no I can’t point it out. But it’s through links. I might have clicked on malicious link.

Normally those apps, if you click on it you won’t see any .exe file installed on your pc, it will be running at background.

My pc is still infected

You sound like Perfectionist. Honestly I haven’t been double checking, cause I don’t do much transaction

Since I read about this. … I now have the spirit activated to
Double check before pasting address

:point_up_2:t2::point_up_2:t2: address copied

This came when I pasted​:point_down:t2::point_down:t2:

Yeah that’s what I always do. Looks safer

Thank you for sharing this important information about the CryptoShuffler trojan. Security is key, @Prince-Onscolo would agree, and It’s crucial for the crypto community to stay informed and take steps to protect their assets.
It’s alarming to hear about the impact the trojan has already had, and it emphasizes the need for heightened security measures in the crypto space.
Comparing wallet addresses before each transaction is a simple yet effective step to avoid falling victim to the trojan’s clipboard manipulation.
Utilizing antivirus and anti-malware software is a smart move to detect and remove potential threats, especially as the crypto landscape evolves.
This leaves me with just one question;

Are there any other specific security practices or tools that you recommend to ensure a higher level of protection against such trojans and scams?

This is a question I am still looking for an answer. I have this virus on my PC, as I said earlier I have installed new windows but still there. I have updated my windows security but still can’t delete this clipboard virus. So I am still waiting to get a solution. Right now I do not use that pc to do copy and paste. Even if I copy any alphanumeric text it changes it to crypto addresses :grinning:

Finding solutions to this, I came up with this.
Maybe not a permanent solution but as alternative

  • Using Crypto scan code
  • Open your crypto wallet app.
  • Tap on the “Send” button.
  • Enter the amount of crypto you want to send.
  • Tap on the “Scan QR Code” button.
  • Point your phone’s camera at the recipient’s crypto QR code.
  • The recipient’s wallet address will be automatically populated.
  • Verify the address and the amount of crypto you are sending.
  • Tap on the “Send” button to confirm the transaction

Could this helpful, let see if it possible to alternate from the virus, since this will avoid to COPY AND PASTE ADDRESS
