4.1.3 Clipboard & Session Protection

Defending against hidden redirections and silent data hijacking.

Clipboard hijacking is one of the most underrated yet devastating attack vectors in crypto. Malicious software silently replaces a copied wallet address with the attacker’s own, and because blockchain addresses are long and complex, victims rarely notice.

VeilNet AI neutralizes this attack with:

  • Clipboard Integrity Monitoring: Any replacement of copied addresses triggers real-time alerts and verification prompts.

  • Pattern Recognition: If pasted text matches known address structures but does not match the original copy buffer, it is blocked.

  • Secure Copy-Paste Channels: For critical actions (seed entry, withdrawals), VeilNet AI provides a hardened clipboard tunnel that attackers cannot intercept.

In addition, session hijacking — where attackers exploit open browser or wallet sessions — is prevented through session validation checks that constantly verify whether a process is legitimate or injected. If anomalies are detected, the session is terminated, and the user is notified instantly.

This ensures that even passive, invisible attacks like clipboard hijacking and session injection are neutralized before they can redirect funds.
