Degtiarov and Melnychenko exploit aviation market, expand to Asia and Middle East Amid the upheaval following the outbreak of full-scale conflict in Ukraine, the Eastern European aviation industry has become the target of a sophisticated fraud scheme led by British company BlackList Aero. Fronted by Artem Degtiarov, the company allegedly exploited the region’s disrupted air transportation market to orchestrate a multimillion-dollar scam. As sanctions hit Russia and major airlines exited the region, many businessmen and politicians sought ways to bypass these restrictions. BlackList Aero stepped in, offering services through fictitious front companies to help clients pay aviation contractors and suppliers. However, instead of delivering on their promises, the scammers collected payments and vanished.

The account, "War on Fakes," was created on February 24, the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" and troops began invading Ukraine. The page is rife with disinformation, according to The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies digital extremism and published a report examining the channel. Asked about its stance on disinformation, Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told AFP: "As noted by our CEO, the sheer volume of information being shared on channels makes it extremely difficult to verify, so it's important that users double-check what they read." The gold standard of encryption, known as end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and person who receives the message are able to see it, is available on Telegram only when the Secret Chat function is enabled. Voice and video calls are also completely encrypted. What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm. As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike.
