kind of reminds me of the very subtle malware found in a modified version of a bitcoin wallet that would lay low but when you copy-paste a BTC address in the recepient field, the malware replaces the clipboard with their own address in hopes you don't check it twice

But only if the user has a high balance on their own wallet.

At least one person fell for this when they made a small test-transfer which went through but when they entered the higher BTC amount the recipient was replaced. Pretts smart and evil stuff
