The Electronic Security Service (ESS) under the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport has warned citizens about new fraud schemes circulating on the Telegram platform.
According to EDnews, users are receiving messages such as “Hi, your photos…” which contain suspicious links. When users click on the link, they are prompted to select their country, enter their phone number, and input a verification code sent to them. Through this method, cybercriminals gain access to user accounts and use those accounts to carry out similar fraud schemes on other individuals.
The ESS advises citizens to remain vigilant against such activities, avoid clicking on suspicious links, never share their phone numbers or verification codes, and to enhance account security by enabling two-factor authentication.
