Scam Telegram: Uncovering a network of groups spreading crypto drainers How I found a large network of fake support groups spreading crypto stealers and drainers.

Just posted my latest and biggest web3 scam investigation: Scam Telegram.
Together with a couple independent researchers and SEAL (securityalliance.org), I revealed a massive scam scheme targeting users of every single DeFi protocol out there.

tim.sh thoughts, projects and research

working on a post for timsh.org about a wide variety of scams I’ve seen on Telegram recently.

What a weird form of message in general:
- 10 page long PDF which looks like a research paper
- clickbait headings like β€œIETF as a criminal organization”
