Attackers have launched a new fraudulent scheme in Telegram. They are sending messages about the alleged death of users' acquaintances, attaching an apk file disguised as a photo to the messages.
If a user opens the "photo," they risk losing access to their Telegram account. The virus will automatically send messages to all of the victim's contacts, which may lead to further problems.
Users are strongly advised to be careful and not open suspicious files to avoid losing personal information and access to their accounts.
