This is the quietest horror story. This person's computer was infected with specific malware. When they copy the correct destination wallet address, the malware automatically changes the data on the clipboard (Paste) to an address belonging to the hacker that has very similar beginning and ending characters. The victim pastes, glances at the first/last 4 digits, and then sends the funds. The money is lost forever because they were "tricked" by their own computer's Paste button.
