Hi friends,
Yesterday one of my friend got hacked by pishing. I mean by clipboard attack. He lost his ETH. It is very dangerous hack.
Clipboard attack can change and know any data while you copy and paste.
So, Be careful while you do copy and paste your password or address. Check every time after pasting your translation address.
And you can also use a manual technique which is unique.
Wherever you save your address or private key will remove/change one digit and save it. but you have to remember the digit. because when you will paste anywhere you have to add the digit by checking the address.
This technique is useful.
No one could hack you even though they have your password.
because only you know the correct password.
Thanks.👍✌️

The clipboard is a data buffer used for short-term data storage and/or data transfer between documents or applications used by cut, copy and paste operations and provided by the operating system.
