Telegram is Preparing an Affiliate Program for Mini Apps, Bots and Channels

Lines were found in the Telegram source code for Android that reveal plans to implement an affiliate program for mini apps, bots and channels.

Key details:

• Channel owners will be able to participate in the affiliate program and receive a commission for users attracted to mini-apps.

• Users and channel owners will be able to share referral links and earn on the spending of attracted users.

• Payments will be made in stars.

• Mini apps owners will be able to customize the commission percentage and the duration of the program for their partners.

• Tools for tracking statistics on referral links and earnings will appear.

It is important to note that all information is based on lines from the application code, so these functions may undergo some changes before the release.

Telegram to Collaborate With IWF to Struggle Against Child Pornography

The BBC reports that Telegram has agreed to collaborate with the international organization Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) to prevent the distribution of child pornography and content related to violence against children.

IWF calls Telegram's decision "transformational", but noted that much work still needs to be done within the framework of the cooperation.

IWF is one of the few organizations in the world that has the right and ability to monitor the appearance of child pornography, materials containing scenes of violence against children, and to achieve its removal from the network.

Telegram emphasized that even before the start of cooperation with IWF, the messenger found and removed hundreds of thousands of materials containing inappropriate content every month using its own moderation tools. Official membership in IWF will help to combat such content even more effectively.

Account Theft Using Fake Gift Message

The most popular method of stealing a Telegram account is still social engineering. Attackers convince the victim to provide their login details either by threatening ("Your account will be blocked within 24 hours if you do not log in to this site") or by promising some kind of benefit.

In recent days, users have increasingly reported receiving a fake message from attackers about a Telegram Premium subscription gift. The message contains a link that supposedly needs to be followed to receive the gift. When clicking on the link, the user is asked to enter their account details (phone number, one-time authorization code, and cloud password), which immediately fall into the hands of attackers.

Please be vigilant!
• Do not enter any account details in any bots or on any sites unless you are 200% sure that you are interacting with the official Telegram resource.
• Check the links you follow in Telegram: in mobile apps, just press and hold the link, and in Telegram Desktop, hover the mouse cursor over the link.
• Follow all other recommendations from the section “6. How to protect your account from theft?” of our article about account theft.
