A recent application requested permission and tried to access my clipboard. This operation is just outrageous. Why would a seemingly normal tool need to read the user's clipboard data? What's the underlying logic behind this?



Such implicit permission abuses are actually quite common in the Web3 ecosystem. Many users download wallet or trading tools without realizing what they are consenting to. The clipboard might contain private keys, seed phrases, transaction information—if these things are seen by the wrong parties, the consequences could be severe.

It is recommended that everyone check the permission list before installing any application. Unreasonable permission requests should be directly declined. Protecting your data security is more important than anything else.

Damn, does anyone really dare to do this? Even touching the clipboard, what kind of face do you have left?

Be really cautious about the clipboard issue; I almost got scammed last time.

Really, this kind of permission request is crazy. Who gave it permission to read my clipboard?

These days, even the clipboard dares to be tampered with. Do they really think users are fools? Just uninstall it.

Directly uninstalling, the clipboard permission is a red flag. Oh my God, I’ve encountered this before. After a certain wallet update, it suddenly required this permission, and I panicked at the time. Permissions really need to be taken seriously; if you're not careful, your private keys could be lost. There are too many hidden traps like this in Web3, so you need to stay vigilant. Before installing an app, you must review the permission list; otherwise, you might really get into trouble.
