Very common malware. Would suggest a clean reinstall of your OS.
Yeah as with other poster its a common malware
Your computer is infected with clipboard hijacker malware.
not joking you need to entirely wipe your computer and start fresh.
“somehow”
>> uses computer insecurely is the answer
If you haven’t rewiped yet, check and uninstall browser extensions
also every single one of your passwords need to be changed.
Always Measure twice, cut once. So after you paste, then you verify, or use a QR code. no copy paste required with those.
Install Linux.
Holy shit, that’s nefarious.
wut duh fuuUUUUUUUUUCKKKCK
Use Linux
Im assuming you know your name is visible in this?
Also, you need to seriously wipe your drives. Start fresh. Not from a restore point.
Just removing a browser extension that may have been the culprit doesnt mean youre still not hosed.
For the people who like to know what that mallware earned. Here: https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/bc1qkw0q0zlppkjk06aqh6mckdmt5cekhggsv4dpls
I lost 30k$ like this..
What kind of porn do you watch? Lol how did you get the malware? You must’ve clicked on a banner that says free btc or something
You really gotta check at least the last 6 or so characters of a receiving address before sending anything.
And re-install windows. I wouldn’t even create the iso/download it on this PC tbh, borrow a laptop or something.
Your computer is compromised, format everything on the HDD and install new OS
Can you show us your browser extensions? That’s probably where the issue is. It’s never enough to suggest to not use the same computer you use for daily things, social media, software installation, key crack, etc.
Stop using Windows..
