Scam Sniffer experts have reported on a new method of fraud, including the use of fake Telegram bots that embed malware on users' devices. Scammers create fake accounts on X (Twitter), inviting users to Telegram groups, where they require verification through "OfficiaISafeguardBot".

This bot uses PowerShell scripts to install malware that can compromise crypto wallets by stealing private keys. Losses of more than $3 million from this attack have already been recorded. Experts warn that the infrastructure of such threats is developing rapidly, and users should avoid suspicious links and messages.
