That's why it is always important to check the address you are sending to several times. Even if you are not infected you can still make a mistake and forget to copy the last character of your address for example.

While it is true that it is vital to check the receiving address before sending a transaction, forgetting the last character (or any other char) or misstyping one will result in an invalid address.

When misstyping one character, the chance of the address still being a valid one is 1 in 2³². [1]

This makes it nearly impossible to accidentally send BTC to a different address than intended.

Sorry about this. This issue of clipboard is becoming a source of concern. I would always cross check my wallet address before finally hitting the send button. My question is even "how does one detect he has been attacked by such virus, and what is the precautionary measure to ending it"?

If you are infected by a clipboard virus the address you paste when sending bitcoins will be a different one from the one you initially copied. You copied your address but the one that got pasted/entered into the field is that of an attacker.

That's why it is always important to check the address you are sending to several times. Even if you are not infected you can still make a mistake and forget to copy the last character of your address for example.

tyvm guys it was something called a clipboard or copy/paste virus i sent another 250 usd and it is right https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/e186924ec5f5981d4ab3f1dfb29382bb91581e98a820e781792f095073be15ff

and this its gone Cry

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/8ce9751158f886ef7c6948a00a11c89a0b42513b81a9060671401526082f04a4

How?

As what you said above you are expecting to receive your bitcoin to this address 3HPt84Lz3bomzffJAn8zhB9KfJypTiBLZs
then according to your transaction ID from your OP post https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/8ce9751158f886ef7c6948a00a11c89a0b42513b81a9060671401526082f04a4

The transaction is confirmed and it sent to 3HPt84Lz3bomzffJAn8zhB9KfJypTiBLZs to the right address.

And to this address - 13yP7RxgFi1YkdVu7JxWdR6sDz9gZotecQ

And the transaction was this where OP received money at his mentioned address:
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/8ce9751158f886ef7c6948a00a11c89a0b42513b81a9060671401526082f04a4

The similar address in this tx (13yP7RxgFi1YkdVu7JxWdR6sDz9gZotecQ) and not what OP mentioned, sent almost exact amount of BTC to 3Cq3LvFhCFaLVB6rVzZfQDVGpxfHKn58jd

How did you know that your problem is a copy/paste virus?

Weird Huh

That's quite surprising for me as well, but maybe OP sent the coins in a hurry and didn't check which address he's sending them to? Maybe that's the cause which made him think that when address gets copied to clipboard and then pasted in the wallet, the wallet might not make OP beware with a warning that others apps can read or change the clipboard.

It's going to be something here and there for people not caring about security. Somedays ago, I have seen another users also complaining the same.

Better use address book. I never used blockchain but I assume there must be an option to list your address. I always do that. Add the address before sending any transaction.

Sorry to hear that. Remember I asked you in my previous post if that is the correct receiving address and you confirmed that it is your address where you expect to receive the funds.
You should reinstall your OS now and make sure you always download wallets from their official sites. And always double check any address before you send funds to it. It is recommended to check the first and last 3-4 characters and maybe a few in the middle just to make sure you copied the whole address.

You should contact Coinpayments and ask them what happened. Try to make your request as short and complete as possible.

Don't make two or more posts in the space of a few minutes. Edit your previous post!

Your transaction has over 280 confirmations already. You need to give us more details. What is the address you expect to receive your Bitcoins to?
What wallet are you using and where exactly did you download it from?
Is your wallet fully synced?
Does the address you sent the Bitcoins to correspond to your receiving address? If not, you might have been infected by something called a clipboard or copy/paste virus.

It did not take two days:

The transaction ID you posted CPDC4LKZVU1X0SIL3RMUMMUIBG. Where is it coming from because that's not a bitcoin TXID. It must be from a service you're using and therefore you should contact them, it could be a technical issue from their part.

I checked and it's confirmed already.
From next time, please perform some patience and act normal as BTC transactions don't get confirmed instantly as they need to be taken in a block. You can see when was the last block found at https://www.blockchain.com/explorer

And when did it take 2 days? It took just 45 minutes and was taken in the next 2-5 blocks after the transaction was made, so stop fooling us here.
