If you connect your wallet, I am not sure maybe you will still be the one that will make payment into the scammers address, but I do not think so because victims complained that all the money on their wallet are stolen with the Telegram scam.

So I do not know if this malware is truly new or not, but it is worth knowing. Although, it is just like before, if you avoid the fake Telegram groups, you will avoid the malware.

It's not malware. It is a smart contract designed to wipe out the entire wallet to a specific address. But before it happens, the victims must connect the wallet and approve the transaction. I created a thread a couple of months ago. My entire meta mask wallet was drained once I connected my meta mask to a fake airdrop website. It took 30 seconds to wipe out my entire wallet. It was too late when I revoked the connection. These are known as crypto wallet drainers. However, I see many new media and blog articles refer to it as malware.
