not sure if it's still like that but metamask for ethereum wouldn't show the full address on the confirmation step. you would only get to see like the first 3 and last 3 characters of the address.
Then that's a massive flaw in their implementation. I've never used MetaMask, but I'm very surprised no one has complained about it before. 6 characters can be spoofed fairly easily.

tell me about it. many times i sent eth using metamask and all i could see is the XXX....XXX type feedback on the final confirmation for the receiving address. they dont care about security they just want everything to fit in that narrow window at the top right of the web browser i guess.
