@Pmalek, I don't think there is any difference between clipboard malware for HW or desktop/mobile wallets - the principle of operation is identical, malware will try to replace the original address with a fake one controlled by a hacker. The difference is that those who use HW have insurance that stems from the fact that they have to confirm the transaction at the touch of a button - while in desktop wallets most do not use the preview button before clicking the send button.

Clipboard malware, which is a bit more sophisticated, tries to make a difference by changing the original address to something similar, so that for those who even check an address, everything may seem fine.

An interesting article on how this malware works -> Clipboard Hijacker Malware Monitors 2.3 Million Bitcoin Addresses

I'm have send another small giveaway today (1 merit for different users) in this thread, so take it as a gift from me even if it doesn't mean much.

I'm happy when you understand what I mean. Asset security, financial privacy are very important things to always be maintained under any circumstances, whenever and wherever you are. I'll be locking this thread, so happy holidays to you all. Careful, friends.
