Russians were warned about a new method of fraud in Telegram.
Russian residents have been warned about a new method of fraud in the messenger Telegram, based on the sensitivity to the case of characters, reported "Izvestia".
We are talking about writing, for example, the lowercase letter L instead of the capital I in the account login, which look the same. In addition, it is possible to confuse the capital letter O and the number zero.
According to Evgenia Lazareva, the coordinator of the "Moshelovka" platform, fraudsters simply need to create a clone account with one different letter, and then "equip" it with stolen content and photos. Then it will be easier for the attackers to deceive channel subscribers.
