I was exchanging cryptocurrency with Changelly when I noticed after the fact that I put in the wrong address. I know I'm probably out of luck, but is there anything I can do to get it back? I have no affiliation with this wallet address. I have no idea how it even got in my clipboard.

3Note that there is malware that checks your clipboard contents and substitutes a hacker-controlled address. It could be that your computer has been infected with such malware. To check this, copy and paste some addresses and see if they were changed. – amon May 22 '21 at 08:47

Crypto currency transactions are not reversible by design, and the addresses are anonymous, so you don't even know who to ask for the money back.

Right, I just didn’t know if someone had a method to figure out what happened and reverse it. Or maybe this was a common issue changelly was having. – Salocor May 22 '21 at 16:22
