well as has been illustrated, you cant always check the full address on the confirmation screen for some software wallets. yes the example came from an eth wallet but the point remains. if you're going to use that particular wallet, you have to accept that risk.
The confirmation screen does not show 1 full address line but only the beginning and end of the wallet address. If you are careful, it is helpful to match and verify with the recipient or deposit address.
I made a simple attempt to avoid the clipboard address malware issue:
- make sure you never install any app other than the official website, it is most likely infected with malware and other viruses.
- use "click" automatic copy of address to paste notepad or Google Chrome browser search bar (if using metamask) before pasting in the submit field.
- if possible, copy the address again in the confirmation text and CTRL+V in notepad to verify again with the previous address.
I always apply the steps above when making deposits and withdrawals by checking addresses carefully, so I never face any errors.
