Is this proposal limited to when you send coins to yourself and to addresses generated from the seed stored in the hardware wallet? I am asking because how would your hardware wallet know what is the correct address if you want to send BTC to me, for example?
These hacks are really hurting the public's perception of Crypto. I just want all of us to be safe if we are doing things correctly.
I agree with the first statement, but at the same time if we want to stay safe, we have to take the time to doublecheck what we are doing. That includes verifying the destination address that we want to send coins to. Mistakes happen because people are lazy to check the transaction information. Even if you get infected with clipboard malware, you would notice it if you checked the destination address in your software and compared that to the source showing where you are supposed to send your coins to.
