Provide warning when pasting address from clipboard about malware #854

Open gary-rowe opened 8 years ago

gary-rowe commented 8 years ago

The Clipboard is susceptible to an address replacement attack where the attacker provides a large dictionary of similar looking addresses and swaps their own for that copied from another application.

It may improve the user experience if a note (such as a tooltip) is displayed warning the user to check the start and end characters of the address just to be sure.
