Telegram Safeguard scam extends to Mac users, don't click on unknown links

On January 13th, a user @0xDiyaaa shared a security incident related to the Telegram Safeguard scam, reminding people to increase their security awareness at the end of the year. The user clicked on a TG link disguised as a verification machine in the comment section of a social media platform, and then executed malicious commands, putting their assets at risk. Fortunately, due to having handwritten mnemonic words prepared in advance, they were able to transfer their assets in time and wipe their computer, avoiding greater losses.

In addition, Yu Xian, the founder of SlowMist, also pointed out that this scam has expanded to Mac users. When users see specific instructions in Telegram, the clipboard may have been implanted with malicious code. If they continue to follow the instructions, they will face serious security consequences.
