Hi All,

Just want to share my experience here.
Recently i just found out, as long as i copy my bitcoin address and paste it to other page, it changes to different unknown bitcoin address that doesn't belongs to mine. Luckily i notice the address is different from mine, no loss is caused. Finally i fix it with anti-malware, now my pc is back to health again. Grin



It's nice to know that the attackers didn't get any of your coins. Bitcoin users must be aware of the existence of this malware, for them to be extra careful. That's why I'm always checking the address that I'm pasting, if it really matches on the wallet address that I copied. Well, luckily I haven't been attacked by this malware and hopefully not in the future.
