Warning: Beware of fake X accounts impersonating Ross Ulbricht and related Telegram "verification" scams

PANews reported on January 26 that Mario Nawfal, founder and CEO of IBC Group, issued a reminder that according to monitoring by security company vx-underground, cybercriminals impersonated Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the dark web market Silk Road, on the X platform to lure users into a Telegram scam, thereby infecting their devices with malware. This "Click-Fix" attack tricks victims into running PowerShell scripts, leading to data theft and potential ransomware attacks. Just a few days ago, Trump pardoned Ulbricht, triggering a new round of cybercrime activities associated with his name. Beware of fake accounts and Telegram "verification" scams.
