 New Wave of Phishing in Telegram: You'll Be Hacked at 5 AM Habr published an analysis of a real case: scammers have started attacking at 5:03 AM, when a person, half-asleep, least expects a trick. A notification arrives, a fake login page — and your account is stolen. How the scheme works: 1. A message at 5 AM from a "friend" asking you to vote 2. A link to a page indistinguishable from the real Telegram 3. Entering your phone number and confirmation code — access to your account 4. Then, mass messages sent from your account to all your contacts What scammers do with stolen accounts: — Sell them on the darknet (thousands of accounts have already been sold) — Use them for phishing your subscribers and contacts — Gain access to chats, channels, business contacts How to protect yourself: Enable two-factor authentication (cloud password) — this is the main defense Check the URL before entering your password — the real Telegram is only at t.me and telegram.org Do not click on links from messages from "friends" asking you to vote If you receive a suspicious message — call the person using another method Lifehack from ASI Biont: set up "Auto-Delete Messages" in Telegram for chats with strangers and enable notifications about new login devices. Take care of your accounts — digital hygiene is more important now than ever. #cybersecurity #Telegram #phishing #ASI_Biont
