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

So do the error is occurring again, even after reformatting your computer? In this case it can be a "middle man attack", Someone targeting your computer following your connection
I'm sorry to tell you that the only way to recover your bitcoins would probably to found the owner of the address, and then pirate him in return to get your funds back

Your first mistake was not going back to check the address you copied and from the original source you copied from, it is very important when you copy an address you try and recheck the first and last letters/numbers of the wallet, and again somebody mentioned email confirmation, Binance always send email confirmation before any transaction is approved, these are things should look out for against next time, but for this particular transaction I don't think you will get it back, very sad tho.

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.

None of them are crypto-related unfortunatelly Whether crypto-related or not the thing is one of your installed browser extensions or one of your installed applications has malware with clipboard hijacker and you should get rid of that. Good thing that you already reformat your device, the sad thing is those funds cannot be recovered. This should serve as a lesson to you and to anyone here that double or triple check the receiving address before you click the send button because there's no turning back once done. It will only take several seconds to check the address, and that could save lives if those seconds of time were used.

Common paste swap virus attack.
This is why it's important to use a secure operating system, ideally something that will only run signed applications, e.g. MacOS.
There is no point warning other people about your loss since these attacks have been going on for decades now and people still get duped by it.
You should ALWAYS double check the device, or ideally do a penny test if you're still not sure, since its also possible for these tools to modify the display too.

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

Actually the op makes a good point most of the copy paste malware would effect the CTRL+C + CTRL+V key combinations the fact that pressing the button inside the binance platform would change the address but not when he is doing the key commands above himself is rather strange.
I wonder if this is a new type of malware that is targeting the browser function for Binance copy address.
OP I would scan your machine at boot time this type of scan will take a fair amount of time but it may bring back something.
Other than that did you download anything recently and install it? any browser application or software?
This would be the first time I have seen the copy paste bitcoin stealing malware not effect the key commands but actually target the press of the button from Binance.
I'm afraid OP it looks like you have lost your funds.

If this was the case, we would see thousands and even millions worth of BTC being reported stolen, which is not the case. Binance is one of the biggest exchanges in the world and they move millions daily. Like others said, you either have an infected PC (downloaded a "bad" software) or an infected browser (with enough permissions, extensions or scripts - usually used with Tampermonkey or such - can do basically anything in the websites you visit. E.g: change the button JS to copy an predetermined address generated by a hacker). Clean your device, be more careful and move on.

None of them are crypto-related unfortunatelly They don't need to be crypto related. Any extension can include any code in it, so unless you have personally read all the code of what you extensions you are installing, you have no idea what they actually do, only what they claim to do. They could redirect you to phishing sites, steal your usernames and passwords, alter your clipboard, any number of things. We've seen people lost their bitcoin because of malicious code in everything from price tickers to ad blockers. There was even a case of clipboard malware being hidden in software which gave you custom backgrounds. Nothing to do with crypto, and seemingly innocuous, resulting in people losing all their money. Your crypto activities should remain separately from your general online activities to help prevent things like this happening. The browser you use for crypto should be used for nothing else, and have minimal extensions on it - uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger, and maybe NoScript if you can, is probably all you need. If you can use an entirely separate device for your crypto activities, even better. If you can't, then you should think about using a hardware wallet to protect against clipboard malware.

Binance is one of the highly reputed exchanges and I would rank them number 1. They have a lot of other businesses too and they are very serious here. It is not a good idea to expect Binance is doing shit or trying to scam 0.10 BTC. You havee been attacked by copy paste malware, It can change your copy address to another.

if your os is came from crack iso maybe binance is correct just format your pc as binance said. its hurt to loss that huge amount and i think binance can't recover your loss all can they do is to advice to report in cybercrime. just make sure next time double check the addresses before hit the confirm button dont get to excited. i felt this situation when i send in the wrong address too just accept charge to experience and move on..

None of them are crypto-related unfortunatelly Even so, the issue you have encountered is not because your extensions are whether crypto or non-crypto related. What you have encountered is your personal device or computer has malware that you should have removed and you should start avoiding adding more extensions especially those unnecessary ones.

malwarebyte or any other virus/malware scanner may not be able to find the problem if the hijacker is one of the browser extensions that you have installed on your browser. as i said before they can also have the same behavior of changing any bitcoin address that you copy.

I am sorry that you have lost your bitcoin but you have done well to share your experience because this alerts us to clipboard malware. Every time I make a transaction I am very cautious, I prefer to waste a minute checking the address than to lose everything. Sometimes I type each of the characters in the address and don't use copy and paste. It works well for me in MetaMask but before sending the transaction I check two to three times.

Deep scan feature of Malwarebytes does not reveal these type of malware inside your system, unfortunately. I have had intentionally infected my old laptop with such and it turns out, it pretty much blends in within your aystem apps causing Defender and Malwarebytes to pass it as a false-negative.
Binance is right on this one, unfortunately, and the best you can do is to secure your system and try not to download unnecessary things on it so as not to put your files and your coins at risk.
