1  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto Veterans and Legendaries: Need Advice on my Bitcoin Strategy on: June 19, 2022, 12:20:03 AM
What do you guys think about my strategy?  Huh Huh

Lol.

A person who has supposedly "accidentaly" made over half a million dollars and not only openly discusses it on a forum but also and asks for advice, like a begginer who asks for advise on how to invest $200.

Are you part of some European royalty?

My advice. If you don't need that money, invest it in Bitcoin and forget about it for at least 4 years. If you are so nervous and have sold early, you probably need that money more than you think, and you shouldn't invest so much.




That's exactly what i thought lol

Clipboard malware already come from years ago, and who get usually attacked is people who not really concern about recipient address when they want to send their crypto. AT first maybe sorry for your loss, but it is better to clean your computer for now and in next time make sure to see address that we want to send the coins, in past after that things attack a lot of people, before i send my coins, usually i see multiple times first 5 digit and last 5 digit address that i want to copy and paste.



Eh...  i've learned it @ the worst way ever..  Undecided

4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which Coins are a great LONG-TERM investment ???? on: September 12, 2021, 01:24:27 AM
Hey folks,

what do you think, which tokens are a great investment for 5-10 years?

All people tend to speculate on short-term moves but I am more interested in tokens that will go up x times over the next couple of years...

so to say, the Amazons and Googles of the crypto world.

Which coins are REALLY GROUNDBREAKING in your eyes and why?

I mean Bitcoin started the whole thing but technically there are so much better, safer, faster, more anonymous coins that should take over in the long run.

Please share your opinions

ADA Cardano for sure.

Thanks. I checked and they seem to be legit.

And I've also logged into my account and confirmed the Copy button is not compromised (i.e. copied address is the same when pasted).

There's a chance your system has been compromised. Run a malware/ spyware scan on your system using some tools like Malwarebytes and check if anything shows up.
Right, follow this instruction from @UserU, your system was compromised and the only solution is to remove it. If you still failed to found the malware and the problem still occur, try to reformat your personal computer and start to avoid installing unnecessary applications including chrome extensions.

Already did it, but it keeps happening on this computer, but it arent happening on my notebook, for example, goddamn crap technology i will throw this computer away on the street

From my diagnosis, the 0.1 bitcoin actually exists in 13PcbKjLBjVUYcSevYELQDc1pLDm6Bb9Di. I'm sorry for your loss. However, I am not sorry. When copying and pasting a wallet address, you're meant to look closely at what you're doing. When I copy a wallet address (for my little $20 transaction), one of my modes to check if it's OK is checking the first and the last characters of they correspond to that of the source. It could have been better if just a character was tempered with but here, you copied a whole different wallet address and send a whooping 0.1bitcoin without caring if it's destination was right.


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?

The scammers will always find a way, so rather than making their ways more sophisticated by blocking some stuff, it's important to raise awareness of how different existing scam techniques work. I've heard about the 'Copy' scam, one which seems to be even more elaborate than the one to which you were a victim because the copied scammer's address even had, like, the first 3 symbols the same with the original address. That's why I always double-check the addresses when making transactions. And from what I've read, the malware attacks the clipboard, so I don't see how using the keyboard would make a difference. Maybe it did in your case, but it's not universally so. Keep in mind that another dangerous scam is with QR-code generators which substitute the original address thus also getting people to send money to a wrong place.


Damnit, those scammers are everywhere Sad Sad Sad Sad

Erm... have you watched the video?
There's nothing wrong with my computer nor action "Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V", it's only happening on  Binance's "Copy Address" button.
And it happen's only for the 1st click, because if i click 2 times more, it copy my real wallet address normally

The malware might not always change your address to prevent being easily detected like this. It's really difficult to tell how the malware works when the malware itself is hiding perfectly on your system. If you want to argue with Binance over this then you're going to have a tough battle.

Binance and probably most people would not accept your "if there is no copy button then this won't happen" argument because they'll reply with "you should not get a virus in the first place and you should always double-check". What matters right now is securing your new system.

You're right on everything you said, unfortunatelly  Embarrassed

None of them are crypto-related unfortunatelly Sad

Could you show us the list of extensions installed? That helps us to more or less identify if the malware came from the browser or the system.

Sure, here they are;

Try and scan your computer with malwarebyte. This thing has happened to me before in the past. I tried to purchase airtime using btc on bitrefill and I discovered that the address generated is different when I pasted it. Luckily for me, I have this attitude of double checking an address anytime I'm making transaction before completing it. Sorry for your lost



Ohhhh damn man, it already happened with you  Undecided Undecided Undecided tbh i thought that i was the only one

There are no transactions in the block chain sending 0.10 BTC to 13PcbKjLBjVUYcSevYELQDc1pLDm6Bb9Di. Why is that?
I'd see it already, and until now the balance hasn't move or touched. I'm confuse on what is really going on.

That is why, you always need to double check your address before you confirm the transaction, no matter how strong or genuine your OS or security it, it is still breachable because in the world of IT, there's no system that is safe. Meaning, you should be personally responsible and be observant. But you can reduce the risk of it happening again, install a genuine anti virus and prevent yourself from downloading from sites that aren't trusted. Make sure that you don't have any plugins even in your browser that causes this issue.
Malware these days are good enough that even the experts and experienced ones can hardly distinguish it from their devices that's why the account of every action we take over should be us coz no one's really accountable for that, not even the exchange. So if it's true that you have been attacked by one of these malware or some kind of virus, might as well be observant the next time and this should serve a lesson for you.

I'm confuse, really really confuse right now coz if I were going to send a huge amount in btc I would definitely check the address I'm sending into however he did not do it. Watching the video made me more confuse coz  there is no mic for you to speak so we will just be basing on your pointer gesture. You did able to copy the amount and pasted it in the address bar and it pasted correctly, not the case for the time you copied the address of yours but you did not let us see that you pasted it using your mouse pointer, you did was a keyboard shortcut. I'm not telling you that you just made it in hope to get a refund from Binance.

CTRL+V is not the same as CTRL+Z. I tried it after watching the video and it works. I can make the fake address out of my screen after hitting CTRL+Z and not CTRL+V.
So now can you get this done with mouse only? of course you can't coz you said you already formatted your computer and the malware was out, right?

THE SHOW IS OVER MAN.


I will record it again, with all those infos / ctrl + z / ctrl + v / ctrl + c

I noticed your browser has a number of extensions. Have you, by any chances recently downloaded any crypto-related or some shady ones?

These kind of things usually hijack your copy and paste contents.

None of them are crypto-related unfortunatelly Sad

both the button and pressing ctrl+c do the same exact thing, they set the clipboard content to a string that is the address on the site. what malwares (known as clipboard hijacker) do is that they monitor clipboard and whenever the content is a bitcoin address they change it to the thief's address.

Well, my ctrl + c / ctrl + v is working good. if there's was no "Copy Address" this problem wouldn't happen, agree?
what do you mean by this? did you copy some random string or an actual address?
if you press ctrl+c on any address (such as the one you posted: 19rRmQXDKxu8bQki2tJqdPJ2H1SfoYunHC) and then pasting it pastes the 13PcbKj... address then you have the malware but if that doesn't happen it could be a bug in Binance system.

also check if you have any browser extensions that might interfere. they could also do weird things like this.

Erm... have you watched the video?

I don't think that there is other way to recover your money. Once your money has already transfered with other btc wallet, you cannot get it back again because the money has already transfered, just accept the fact that your 1.0 BTC cannot get back, the only thing you may do is to call for professional assistance so they can help you with your problem.

I think your computer has virus created by hackers or scammers because as what you have said, once you copy your BTC address, different wallet address has been copied and I can't judge you with that because just like me once I alredy copied my btc address, I will paste it to the filling form and don't even check it again. Maybe that virus comes by unsecured websites or advertisement because those are the common ways to get virus on your computer.

The good thing is that you already formatted your computer, I hope that it won't happen again. Maybe this would be a lesson for you.


Yes, that have been really hard lesson for me.

There are no transactions in the block chain sending 0.10 BTC to 13PcbKjLBjVUYcSevYELQDc1pLDm6Bb9Di. Why is that?


Oh yes,

The first transaction is 0.8 BTC, and the other one is 0.2 BTC, both from 3HiNx4fouYf8w153bserjrfrkw1J8VgFPb

Hey there guys, im creating this topic just to share and "maybe discuss" my case with Binance's support;

At the moment i didnt knew what exactly happened, but, i've copied the adress 13PcbKjLBjVUYcSevYELQDc1pLDm6Bb9Di
from the "Copy Address button" and deposited 0.10 BTC "That's a high value for me"

At that point, everything is ok.
Been waiting 10~20 minutes, and my balance haven't updated.
Ok, something wrong is happening here
For instinct, i've just checked my wallet again, and, for my hopelessness, my real BTC wallet is 19rRmQXDKxu8bQki2tJqdPJ2H1SfoYunHC

The "Copy Adress is automatically copying the adress 13PcbKjLBjVUYcSevYELQDc1pLDm6Bb9Di"

PS: I've also recorded with OBStudio what just happened; https://youtu.be/EqUqI6eaU6I

Ok, that's a problem. since i have already deposited 0.10 BTC in ANOTHER wallet.
No other way to solve it, i had to open a ticket.
And that's the answer i've received;


Binance's answer ;
Dear Ivan,

Thanks for reaching out.

We are sorry for what you encountered. Please go through following tips immediately before you take any further action.

1. Install anti-virus software to scan/kill Trojan and other viruses as soon as possible;
2. Disable plug-in/extensions for your browser, trading bot or third-party APP and uninstall unknown software on your computer;
3. Change the password for your devices and accounts;
4. In a critically dangerous situation you should format your hard drive and reinstall the OS (operating system) on your computer (If you are not sure how to do this, seek professional assistance);
5. Consider seeking help from an information security expert to determine how to achieve the best possible level of security;

Thank you for your understanding.

Best Regards,
Binance Support Team


My reply ;

Right.

But, what about my 0.10 BTC's?
How can i get it back?


Binance's reply ;

Dear Ivan,

Thank you for your follow-up.

As shown in the website, your BTC deposit address should be 19rRmQXDKxu8bQki2tJqdPJ2H1SfoYunHC. If the address changes after you copy and paste it, you will need to check the security status of your device. You can refer to the instructions offered by Elaine before.

In addition, I regret to tell you that, given that the destination address does not belong to Binance, we are not able to freeze any funds/accounts tied to the recipients.

If you are interested in pursuing this case, we recommend that you file a police report or cyber-crime report so that you may receive assistance as soon as possible.

Your understanding is much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Binance Support Team



The point is;
I have already formated my computer, downloaded the official .ISO from microsoft, paid for the OS, the anti viruses is ok, nothing have been detected.
Do you think the Binance's support is right in that case?

I agree that i should have paid more attention, yes, but, the "error" is occurring only on the "Copy Address button", not in my Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V


That's it guys, thank you for reading.
