Mhmmm, i agree with you, but, since i'm not expert, n have created my wallet in April/2020 "around 10 days or less", im a newbie and don't know those things.
Don't you think this issue is a really bad one?

What about the new investments? Newcomers?

I agree there's a lot of malwares / scamwares / viruses, but, if the virus exist, and it only affect a button, its a simple button, what about protect that button? or maybe making a different kind button?

In that case, the button should'nt exist then, right?

Well, my ctrl + c / ctrl + v is working good. if there's was no "Copy Address" this problem wouldn't happen, agree?


Your "my ctrl + c / ctrl + v" is okay I guess, but the malware immediately changes the wallet address, so you don't realize it. That happened too with some of my friends, but then they formatted their laptops and installed a new system. After that, they try to copy-paste the wallet address, and they are fine, and the malware is not there. You should format your computer, and instal a new system if you don't want to get the other bad experience.

This lesson is worth for you, at least, you know that there is a malware which can infect your copy-paste command, and you should be careful. Make sure you double check or triple check on the wallet destination and make sure it is right before you click the send button.
You are rught about him formatting his computer that wint be enough to save him next time if some situations happen again and i will advise the OP to always use an updated paid antivirus, cross checking very wallet address before sending payment and never open, visit untrusted site or install app from unknown source in the extension app.
