Montenegro's .me registry placed t.me on serverHold yesterday, wiping every Telegram invite link, channel preview, and bot link from global DNS. The app itself still works. Durov only found out via X, posting "t.me links stopped working. Can you look into it?" suggesting Telegram got zero notice.
No statement from the registry, Identity Digital, or Telegram. One unconfirmed report ties it to OFAC compliance requirements. Domain expires in 2035, ruling out non-renewal.

After hours of serverHold with no official explanation, t.me is resolving normally again. All Telegram links are accessible.

oguser[.]com, home of community trading forum OGUsers, no longer resolves. The .com registry returns
NXDOMAIN on every record type, meaning the domain lost its delegation entirely, not a server outage.The old ogusers[.]gg still points users to oguser[.]com, which is now a dead end. No seizure notice has surfaced and the cause stays unverified.
Seizure, unpaid bill, or exit?

A man in his 20s attacked an investment YouTuber in Busan after losing money following his recommendations/courses.
The victim survived and police are investigating as attempted murder.
(yeah you wont understand much from the video but it is what it is.)

Zyaire Wilkins of North Lauderdale, Florida was arrested for uploading infected games to Steam, including BlockBlasters and PirateFi. Victims who downloaded them had their wallets silently drained. He bought the RAT for $10,000 and also planned wallet drainer campaigns with the malware's developer. Three seed phrases, including a Monero wallet, seized at arrest.
Faces up to 10 years. The primary developer is still unidentified.

The gang cold-called victims, pretended to be Met Police officers, and convinced them their crypto was at risk. Victims either handed over account credentials or transferred funds to fake "secure police accounts." 8 victims, £4M stolen, £1M recovered so far.
Anthony Ikenwe and Kevin Nwamma got 6 years each, Hamza Bashir 3 years and 9 months. Sentenced at Southwark Crown Court yesterday.

Shi Qiren, leader of CoinThink Technology in Taiwan, was sentenced July 20 to 22 years for defrauding 1,539 victims out of $39M. The gang posed as the only FSC-authorized exchange, funneled victims’ cash into USDT through organized crime networks, and laundered $71M total.
14 people indicted. Shi can still appeal. 640,000 USDT and $3M+ in assets seized.

Yesterday, a bug allowed Japanese accounts to buy 10,000 Stars for $1.50 instead of $150. Gifts bought with the cheap Stars flooded the market before Telegram caught it.
Telegram refunded all Stars from the bug and reversed affected gifts. Sellers who traded gifts for dirty Stars got them back, but with a 27-day transfer cooldown. Some accounts are now sitting on negative star balances of 100K+.

Unitree just dropped the AS2-W "Super Athlete," a robot dog that switches between wheels and legs in real time using reinforcement learning. Rolls fast on flat ground, then seamlessly climbs rocks and crosses rivers. 16kg payload, 30km range, fraction of Boston Dynamics Spot's price.
The video went viral for a reason.

Elite hackers trained by the regime breached the Chosun Central Bank and the Foreign Trade Bank, laundered the funds through crypto, and smuggled cash across the border. Agents raided their Pyongyang safe house on July 12 and caught them mid-transaction.
The same country responsible for 76% of all global crypto theft in 2026 got robbed by its own guys.

A community map for MECCHA CHAMELEON silently dropped a PowerShell script on Windows PCs to download a second-stage payload. The game's Discord was then compromised after the malware infected a dev's machine, bypassing 2FA and locking out staff.
Sources obtained a video of one of the threat actors celebrating after successful RCE: "RCE FUCK**G WORKS N**GA, IM THE GOAT." Investigation still ongoing.

Binance runs internal phishing simulations on staff. Employees who click the fake links don't just get a warning, they lose their jobs. Zero tolerance for security failures when you're sitting on billions in customer funds.
Would you survive a Binance phishing test?

Russia's FSB charged Durov today under Article 205.1 of the Russian Criminal Code, accusing Telegram of failing to remove channels used by Ukrainian intelligence and extremist groups to coordinate attacks inside Russia. An international arrest warrant has been issued. If convicted in Russia, he faces up to life in prison.
Telegram's official X account responded by posting a photo of Durov giving the middle finger

Following Russia's terrorism charges against Durov, users started digging through his gift collection. Turns out he's sitting on a golden AK-47, an American assault rifle, and a golden bomb (and a few more).
