I just got screwed out of 0.03 BTC because of a malware that changes any address you copy into the malware owner's address. It even used a vanity gen to make the two first characters of the address the same (I was sending to 1Gm..., so the malware created a 1Gm address).
1. Before sending, always check the first two and last two letters to make sure it is the same address you are copying!
2. If possible, check a random string in the middle and compare it! Even better.
Be vigilant, y'all!

yes, this is good for other members to be more careful again to be the health of his computer. you should install security that strengthens your computer system in order to avoid malware virus attacks or some kind of phishing. reinforce with a really good antivirus.
I read about this kind of malware from some other threads and it's kinda scary.
For safety precautions I always check the address that I will sending my funds not just twice but four or five times more to be sure. There are lots of hackers this days and everyone should be careful on every website that they are visiting and every stuffs that they're downloading on the internet specially those suspicious one's.
