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.👍✌️
Friends this awareness in not only for Ethereum but also for all crypto asset. I hope this thread will make us aware and will make more educated.
I am really not sure about the whole clipboard attack thing, but unless a malware is on your system and hackers are spying on what you are inputting, or you simply ended up becoming a victim of a phishing website without you verifying where you are inputting your passwords, then you make yourself vulnerable to being hacked which is what a lot of people due to their carelessness have ended up experiencing many times, and people still do not learn. It is a good thing pointing it out though for more awareness on security of one's funds.
