OneKey founder warns third-party keyboards may keep reading clipboard data

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.
