Unfortunately, these things are very common, but for the first time I hear that they are also on Telegram. It is necessary to disable the automatic download feature, whether in Telegram or others, this is very dangerous.
But I did not know what kind of wallets were targeted by the virus exactly, there are many versions of Telegram on Mac, Windows, Android and iPhone, I am using the version of Telegram for Windows desktop and I have an Electrum wallet installed on the Windows system, so I do not know if this virus can target this wallet?
Dont know if it could ran off automatically even if the app wasnt been launched.
This is why im not really that installing but i have searched out that you could
do disable that automedia download which i could say that it is really that safety to turn it off.
Turn Off Automatic Download of Specific Media on TelegramDont know if this one is relevant but not really that something bad to test it out.
I am a user of telegram but not really an active one.
But such warning is really good to avoid possible problem in the future.
I believe a lot of telegram users as well as crypto users are not aware of this feature.
A simple turning off the Auto-Download Media may save your funds from those fraudulent activities.
Scammers will always try and try to get into the vulnerabilities of your computer, so no wonder they are resorting to this route.
