Golden Finance reported that Mario Nawfal, founder and CEO of IBC Group, issued a reminder that according to security company vx-underground monitoring, cybercriminals impersonated Ross Ulbricht, founder of the darknet market Silk Road, on the X platform, luring users into Telegram scam, thereby infecting your device with malware. This "Click-Fix" attack tricks victims into running a PowerShell script, leading to data theft and a potential ransomware attack. Just days ago, Trump pardoned Ulbricht, sparking a new wave of cybercrime linked to his name. Beware of fake accounts and Telegram "verification" scams.
