Apparently, there was some malware on my Windows 10 pc that changes any bitcoin address to this one:

"bc1qn0r06gtwlamffet49fph9jnm9u2e2ylx5ns7qc".

I sold a Google Play card on a legit website for bitcoin and didn't even notice that i put the wrong address. I was confused as it said that the transaction was complete and there were no bitcoins on my electrum wallet (this is my first bitcoin transaction btw). After some time of being confused i realised that the address is wrong and then i tried coping the right one and it was pasting the one noted above! I was still confused, thought at first that the c on the keyboard doesn't function properly or that windows automaticaly doesn't copy as it thinks it's the same text or smth. But then i realised that this may is a malware... I googled about it and there exist malware like this one... Then googled about the address and it has a complete history of transactions and others have reported it for scamming and issues like this one.

Funny thing is that i don't even know how long i had this malware on my computer and was focused on not getting scammed selling my gift card haha. Thankfully, the amound was only 25$ but im still surprised.

I am now scanning my computer to find the malware, it might take some hours, and then will try to analyze it. I don't think any other password is hacked as i don't believe there is data being send from it but you never know... After this i am ofcourse removing windows from my computer forever and changing every single password i have.
