WARNING: New Type of Telegram Attacks Fool Admins Into Bot Takeovers
@takebackourtech | ADVISORY

Do you run a Telegram group? Be very careful when promoting bots to administration positions.

I have observed attackers mimicking the profiles of popular group management bots. Their plan is to sit in your group and hope you promote one of their fake profiles to become an administrator.

Once that happens they will attempt to take over your group from you. Here's an example of the attack.

Always search for bots by their exact username, confirm this on the bot's developer site.

The antifascists are literally helping fascist military units.

I wish my local goodwill stores were had cool stuff like that.
The best I can get is some fitness equipment in February.

I can't believe I am actually saying this!
WAY TO GO BRANDON!!!!!!!!

BREAKING! Biden pardons all prior federal convictions for simple marijuana possession - including under DC law - also directs states to do the same, and asks HHS & AG to review how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.

Senior admin official says 6500 people w/ federal convictions + thousands more under DC law will benefit... but no individuals are currently in federal prison solely for simple possession of marijuana. Most are @ state level, Jacqui Heinrich reports.
