The blockchain security company Scam Sniffer has issued a warning about a new type of scam that combines fake X accounts, forged Telegram groups, and malicious verification bots, which is spreading and aims to steal users' crypto assets. Scammers guide users to join Telegram groups by impersonating well-known influencers in the crypto industry on fake X accounts, and then ask them to verify through a fake 'OfficiaISafeguardBot'. This bot uses PowerShell to inject malicious code, running crypto-stealing malware that obtains users' private keys and steals their assets. Scam Sniffer states that this is the first time such a combination of scam patterns has been discovered, and several cases of stolen private keys due to this malware have been recorded.
