Cybercriminals Target Telegram Users with Devious Account Hijacking SchemeAccording to F.A.C.C.T., cybercrime experts have uncovered a fresh tactic employed by fraudsters to hijack Telegram accounts. Per
reports from RBC, scammers are now sending messages to users posing as Telegram support, claiming there's an application to delete their accounts. Victims are directed to a phishing site mimicking Telegram's interface, where they unwittingly disclose their login details, including security codes, giving attackers full access to their accounts, messages, and managed channels.
It's emphasized that only the account owner can initiate deletion or set up auto-deletion due to inactivity.
