How Clipboard Hijacking Cost Me $456 in USDT
1 / 2
On Wednesday, 14 October 2026, I lost $456 in USDT while trying to transfer funds from my Trust Wallet to an exchange. I copied my exchange wallet address and completed the transfer, but the funds did not arrive. After checking the transaction details, I discovered that malware on my laptop had replaced the address I copied with a different one. I had to send another $456 to complete the transfer. Please always verify the full receiving address before confirming any crypto transaction, especially when using a computer.
