Protection against cryptocurrency address spoofing in the clipboard

CryptoClipGuard is an open-source tool designed to protect cryptocurrency users from clipboard address-spoofing attacks.

How protection works

The program monitors clipboard changes in real time and prevents malicious software from replacing copied cryptocurrency addresses. Upon detecting a spoofing attempt, it immediately restores the original address.

Additional security features

When suspicious activity is detected, the system displays a Windows notification and logs the incident, attempting to identify the suspicious process. The tool is written in Python and available at the link below.
