OneKey founder Wang Yishi said in a post on X that the risk of sensitive data exposure may extend beyond screenshots being captured on screen recordings. He warned that third-party keyboard apps may also continuously read clipboard contents, creating another path for mnemonic phrases and other private information to leak.
The post drew follow-up comments from several users, who said that after opening Pinduoduo without saving an image, or after only copying related content, the app’s recommendation feed showed products highly related to what had previously appeared on their screens or in their clipboards. Those users questioned whether the app might be reading screen content or clipboard data.
For now, the claims are based mainly on user tests and feedback shared on social platforms. Pinduoduo has not publicly responded, according to the ChainCatcher newsflash.

He warned that third-party keyboard apps may also continuously read users’ clipboard contents, which could expose mnemonic phrases and other sensitive data.
Several users later replied to the post, saying that after opening Pinduoduo without saving an image, or after only copying related content, the platform’s recommendation page showed product listings that were highly related to material previously seen on their screens or stored in their clipboards. Based on those experiences, they questioned whether the app may be accessing screen or clipboard data.
ChainCatcher noted that the claims currently come mainly from user testing and social media feedback. Pinduoduo has not issued a public response so far.
