And this is the third time I have gotten infected with the clipboard virus. I don't know why I always end up with the particular virus. Though I don't know how to properly define this thing as a virus or malware. I don't use any third-party antivirus, but my Windows Defender is always on. So I have no idea how I got infected. Windows defender seems to not be working regarding this virus. I guess, other antivirus programs won't work either. There is no way to fix this. So unfortunately, I had to reinstall Windows twice the same day to fully get rid of this virus. Such a hassle. Lucky for me, I didn't send out any funds since I remembered my original address. The moment I saw a change of address, I knew something was wrong. Here is the phishing address. The total received amount is almost $28k I wonder how many innocent people fell a victim to it.

This why I always advice to use mobile for transaction and stay away from doing any single transaction in the PC where this scam attacks are in the high numbers. Actually I have so much experience in this matter because I lost more than 1k$. Unfortunately some of my old address become victim permanent which I used for farming airdrop.

The reason of this could be installing windows from Third party/Installation of free apps(crack).

You should have to install the new window/Linux as soon as you can because your phrase or any other information could be compromised. Never use free version software which often lead to keyboard hack. I will recommend Mobile for transaction purpose which is much safer than PC but if you like to do in PC then just follow above safety step
