I have joined some Telegram groups before. When you joined or if you post on the group, you will see some scammers that will send you message to chat with you. Convincing you that they are working in group and the project. But they are all scammers. What I noticed before was that they will give you a fake link and tell you to connect your wallet. 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. Scam Sniffer posted on X that the malware is through a bot. And that it can compromise your crypto wallets and your device.

Once in the Telegram group, users are immediately prompted to verify through OfficiaISafeguardBot. This fake bot creates artificial urgency with extremely short verification windows. The verification process secretly injects malicious PowerShell code into your clipboard. When executed, it downloads and runs malware that can compromise your system and crypto wallets.

If you click on the link and you are not logged in through browser, you will not see all the Scam Snuffer's posts. You can click on the link in code which can suggestion you to read it on your Telegram app where you will see all the posts, provided if you have X installed on your device.

You never connect your wallet to anything that you don't trust 1) and 2) you never give your private keys to someone else!
