Account Theft Using Fake Gift Message

The most popular method of stealing a Telegram account is still social engineering. Attackers convince the victim to provide their login details either by threatening ("Your account will be blocked within 24 hours if you do not log in to this site") or by promising some kind of benefit.

In recent days, users have increasingly reported receiving a fake message from attackers about a Telegram Premium subscription gift. The message contains a link that supposedly needs to be followed to receive the gift. When clicking on the link, the user is asked to enter their account details (phone number, one-time authorization code, and cloud password), which immediately fall into the hands of attackers.

Please be vigilant!
• Do not enter any account details in any bots or on any sites unless you are 200% sure that you are interacting with the official Telegram resource.
• Check the links you follow in Telegram: in mobile apps, just press and hold the link, and in Telegram Desktop, hover the mouse cursor over the link.
• Follow all other recommendations from the section “6. How to protect your account from theft?” of our article about account theft.

Telegram to Collaborate With IWF to Struggle Against Child Pornography

The BBC reports that Telegram has agreed to collaborate with the international organization Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) to prevent the distribution of child pornography and content related to violence against children.

IWF calls Telegram's decision "transformational", but noted that much work still needs to be done within the framework of the cooperation.

IWF is one of the few organizations in the world that has the right and ability to monitor the appearance of child pornography, materials containing scenes of violence against children, and to achieve its removal from the network.

Telegram emphasized that even before the start of cooperation with IWF, the messenger found and removed hundreds of thousands of materials containing inappropriate content every month using its own moderation tools. Official membership in IWF will help to combat such content even more effectively.

Telegram Boosts Profits Through Cryptocurrency Assets

The Financial Times reviewed Telegram's unaudited financial report, dated October 22, 2024, and addressed to investors.

Telegram reported a significant increase in the value of its digital assets during the first half of 2024, rising to $1.3 billion from nearly $400 million at the end of the previous year. This growth was largely driven by the sale of the cryptocurrency Toncoin.

The company's revenue for January to June 2024 reached $525 million, nearly tripling compared to the same period last year. Of this, $225 million came from a deal with an unnamed party, under which Telegram received compensation for making Toncoin the exclusive method for businesses to purchase advertising within the app. However, this agreement was terminated on October 1.

In the first half of the year, revenue from digital asset sales totaled $353 million, with $348 million coming from Toncoin sales alone.

Advertising revenue also saw growth, hitting $120 million in the first six months of 2024—more than double compared to the previous year. Additionally, premium subscription sales surged to $119 million, up from $32 million.

Over its history, Telegram has raised approximately $2.4 billion in debt financing, which is due for repayment in 2026.

According to the documents, in September 2024, Telegram used a portion of its overall revenue to repurchase some of its bonds, amounting to $124.5 million.

While Telegram’s bonds are still trading below face value, their prices have rebounded from the initial sell-off triggered by Pavel Durov’s detention. As of now, they are trading at 95 cents on the dollar, compared to 87 cents in August.

Fragment Introduces Mandatory Identity Verification for Buying and Selling Telegram Services

The Fragment platform has introduced a KYC (identity verification) procedure. This means that the platform may require personal information and supporting documents to perform certain actions.

Important:
• Mandatory verification: Now, to purchase “stars” and other services, including Premium or an anonymous number, you must pass KYC (Know Your Customer).
• Verification process: Fragment uses a third-party service, Sumsub, which has an automatic system for verifying users' identities.
• Required information: Buyers must provide an email, phone number, a scanned copy of an identity document, and a photograph of their face.

You can check the verification of your Telegram account and TON wallet on the Fragment profile page .

Purchasing Telegram Premium and stars via @PremiumBot and app stores works without changes.

"Durov's Code" reminds that anonymous numbers and usernames can be purchased for cryptocurrency without KYC on decentralized marketplaces, such as Getgems.io .

Even if the NFT is purchased on a third-party platform, its activation in Telegram occurs through Fragment. The editorial team of @tginfo does not know whether unverified users will be able to use their NFTs in Telegram in the future. Owning an NFT does not guarantee that the purchase can be used in Telegram, as we wrote about in 2022.

The @tginfo editorial team does not know the reasons for introducing the KYC procedure. Telegram representatives did not comment on these changes.

Gift Privacy Settings

A new privacy setting has become available to Telegram users: “Who can display gifts on my profile”.

Gifts from those users and Mini Apps that are allowed to send such gifts will be automatically published in the recipient's profile. And if a gift is sent by user who is not allowed to do so, then this gift will only be displayed in the chat with the giver, and will not be published in the profile.

Additionally, we note that the recipient of the gift in all cases can manually change the visibility of the received gift in their profile: both hide a previously published gift and publish a hidden one.
