$100K theft with a simple mistake in copying the wallet address 🔐

Background
💰 A user lost $100,000 after copying a malicious address from transaction history
⚠️ Funds were transferred directly to the attacker's address
🛡 Trusting the clipboard can put assets at serious risk

Focus
🔎 Always check the full destination address before sending
💸 First make a test transaction with a very small amount
🛡 If possible, use the whitelist of trusted addresses

Consequences
⚠️ A small mistake in copy and paste can lead to the loss of all assets
🔐 Double-checking the address is one of the easiest ways to reduce the risk of theft
🚨 Cryptocurrency transactions are usually not easily reversible after confirmation

Conclusion
🧭 Before any transfer, check the destination address independently of the clipboard; a few seconds of care can prevent irreparable loss
