Wildberries и Russ выявили новую мошенническую схему с обманом детей, сообщили ТАСС в пресс-службе компании.
Мошенники создают в мессенджерах фейковые аккаунты от имени популярных игровых блогеров. Потенциальная жертва получает сообщение с выгодным предложением — например, купить внутриигровые предметы по сниженной стоимости. Когда ребенок соглашается, его просят ввести данные карты родителей или логин и пароль от личного кабинета на маркетплейсе.

At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. Additionally, investors are often instructed to deposit monies into personal bank accounts of individuals who claim to represent a legitimate entity, and/or into an unrelated corporate account. To lend credence and to lure unsuspecting victims, perpetrators usually claim that their entity and/or the investment schemes are approved by financial authorities. "He has kind of an old-school cyber-libertarian world view where technology is there to set you free," Maréchal said. But because group chats and the channel features are not end-to-end encrypted, Galperin said user privacy is potentially under threat.
