🛡️ Telegram Online Scams Surge by 2000%, New Scam Techniques Revealed!
Recently, scams on Telegram have shown a significant growth trend, with their cunning surpassing that of traditional phishing attacks.
According to research by blockchain security company Scam Sniffer, between November 2024 and January 2025, the number of malware scam incidents conducted through the Telegram platform has astonishingly increased by over 2000%.
This growth rate far exceeds the changes in traditional phishing attack techniques during the same period, which have remained relatively stable.
It is reported that these scammers' methods have upgraded, no longer limited to inducing you to disclose wallet links. They are now employing more complex strategies, including impersonating verification bots, fake trading groups, counterfeit airdrop groups, and so-called “exclusive” Alpha groups.
As long as you interact with these malicious entities, whether by running their code or installing counterfeit verification software, the scammers can obtain your sensitive information, including passwords, cryptocurrency wallets, clipboard activity logs, and browser data.
These methods also reflect a strategic shift among scammers, who are now obtaining more data access from victims by deploying malware, making it more difficult to trace financial losses.
Therefore, blockchain security experts strongly advise us to remain highly vigilant, not to execute commands from unknown sources, to avoid installing unverified software, not to use the clipboard for verification, and to be skeptical of urgent group invitations. Additionally, using hardware wallets can provide extra security for our assets.
In summary, vigilance against online scams, protecting personal information, and asset security are urgent! Especially on social networking platforms like Telegram, be sure to act cautiously, do not trust information of unknown origin, do not run code casually, do not install unverified software, and be alert to urgent group invitations. It is recommended to use hardware wallets to strengthen asset security, collectively preventing online scams and maintaining a safe online environment.
