A new scam is gaining popularity on Telegram.

— Attackers are using malicious bots disguised as official Telegram services.

The victim is convinced to launch the bot and press the start button, after which the scammer has the opportunity to block the user's account and associated channels.

To block a user, the bot's name is changed to contain obscene content, and Telegram assumes the person who activated the bot is the account owner.

To view the content, you need to Sign In or Register.

That’s wild. It’s scary how they turn Telegram’s own moderation policies against users. Definitely double-checking every bot before hitting "start" from now on!
