The scam involves a link that is often shared on Telegram groups or channels, promising users a new or exclusive content, such as a video or a file. The link is usually accompanied by an enticing message, such as “Get the latest video now” or “Click here to access exclusive content.” However, when users click on the link, they are redirected to a malicious website or a phishing page that can compromise their device and personal data.
In recent times, users of the popular messaging app Telegram have been targeted by a new wave of scams involving malicious links. One such link that has been making the rounds is the “Telegram -getnewlink Y2NSG4.mp4 -3.15…” link, which appears to be a harmless video file but is, in fact, a cleverly disguised threat.
