These malware's are very common on Telegram Telegram especially, just last week I fell for one and got every file on my phone wiped off, it was a very painful experience for me. I learnt my lesson though, it's just sad I had to learn the hard way. This post has gone a step further in preventing more people from falling.
It's quite unfortunate that malware are also sent via telegram. I feel so scared because of the prevalence of telegram airdrop bots which has been deployed by projects for the execution of airdrop, i only hope that the bots are not hijacked by hackers and used to take advantage of the phones of individuals.
The best advise I have for you is to be careful of the airdrops you join. Most of the airdrops are not legit and are just a simple strategy employed by hackers to take advantage of the information of airdrop hunters. it best to verify the authenticity of an airdrop from the official telegram of the project before participating.
