Only solution is to always memorize your address (the last part).
The only solution is the check the entire address. Address reuse is bad for privacy anyway, so memorizing the address doesn't make sense.

Exactly, because some clipboard malwares have gone a little further than simple address replacement - they already try to replace the original address by searching in their database for the one that most closely resembles the owner's address. I know I once read about it here on the forum, and I think hackers will become even more inventive, especially now that they are using AI.

When it comes to checking addresses, those who know the risks leave nothing to chance, right?
