Cryptocurrency discussions / Re: Be cautious when copying wallet addresses

We hope that information like what you did will also attract the attention of all colleagues so that they do not hesitate to repeat checking whether it is in accordance with what they want, so that fraudsters cannot take their fund.I never knew this was possible so usually just copy the address and send without confirming much. Well turns out that was a big mistake on my part. Never knew that clipboard can do such. I don't know if it's a malware, I ended up using an address that wasn't mine and funny holds some units of Bitcoin.This happened to me once with Bybit during withdrawal transactions I copied a random wallet address and I double check on it and it's different on the wallet address destination so I carefully copied my own address and it's successfully tranferred. Lucky for me I saw that address before tapping confirm if not it would end very badly for my funds. So next time guys I highly recommend please double check before sending transactions as we all know transactions are irreversible.
Still confused how something like this could happen, but try to be cautious and don't feel too lazy to cross check your address before sending or posting. Recall Bitcoin transactions are irreversible after 6 confirmations, once confirmed it's gone. You can tell the wallet address it went to but not the owner. Except they are careless, which I doubt they are.
