Gm everyone,



Today, a sister of mine just lost money because her computer got infected with a virus. Specifically, when copying a wallet address, the virus replaced it with a different wallet that looks almost identical to hers! If you normally only check the first and last characters, it's very difficult to detect! We still don't know how she got infected with the virus, because she said she was very careful and didn't download or install anything strange! At least the damage wasn't too big! Now she's reformatted her computer completely!

I myself also usually check the first and last characters when transferring money! But I have one additional step, which is to send a test transaction with a small amount of money first! Although it takes a bit of time and costs a small fee, in exchange for security, I think it's very worthwhile!

Making money is already hard, and keeping money is even harder! So everyone should be more careful, because hackers are becoming more and more sophisticated!
