I must be going crazy or some shit. (strange issue with bitcoin address)

I'm having this issue with dream where my bitcoin address changes after I've copied it and then pasted it (doesn't matter where I paste it to, it always changes). The first 3 digits stay the same but after that the address completely changes.

I'm just wondering if anyone's ran into a similar issue or if anyone can offer any insight into the source of the issue?

Edit: Thanks for the feedback guys, definitely a malware issue, currently running a full computer scan to get rid of any malicious files, hopefully that'll fix the issue.

I did however successfully send the funds to my dream account by copying part of the address and entering the rest in manually.

It just goes to show the lengths people will go to to steal your coins, be careful out there and always triple check your address before sending funds.

Don't send that transaction through. You need to do a virus scan.

Malware.

A lot of them were malicious add ons for browsers that did it. Are you sending from a normal browser to your wallet on dream?

If so, you should probably tell us or report the addon to get it removed. People need to be warned about it.

Malware. Lost 50$ due to that shit cause of my stupidity, never happened again. Clean your pc.

Are you using Tor or a browser add on?

Don't send that transaction. You have a bitcoin stealer on your machine that's designed to swap out copy/pasted send addresses with one the attacker owns.

If it's new malware a scan won't find it. PM me if you need anymore help.

This is why its a good idea to use Tails/Whonix or at a minimum, a clean laptop where you only do DNM shit. Too much malware to mangle yo' shit up. Tails/Whonix is good OPSEC with the added benefit of being a sandbox environment that should be free of viruses. Keep the porn surfing in its own sandbox, that shit is riddled with viruses. Have a Whonix for your porn, a whonix for your DNM and never cross the streams.
