Title: Security warning: trojan stealing coins, swapping Copy&Paste addresses
Post by: grahamgreene on March 23, 2012, 01:51 am
Hi all,

Just saw this over on the bitcointalk forums - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=73562 (clearnet link!)
Its a huge vulnerability with the copy and paste mechanism for people's sending and receiving addresses. Everyone needs to have a read of it and ensure your system is completely malware free. Also, ALWAYS verify visually that the address you're sending coins to / receiving them with in your client is the same as the one you copied.
