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.

Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee. "The inflation fire was already hot and now with war-driven inflation added to the mix, it will grow even hotter, setting off a scramble by the world’s central banks to pull back their stimulus earlier than expected," Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS, wrote in an email. "A spike in inflation rates has preceded economic recessions historically and this time prices have soared to levels that once again pose a threat to growth." Official government accounts have also spread fake fact checks. An official Twitter account for the Russia diplomatic mission in Geneva shared a fake debunking video claiming without evidence that "Western and Ukrainian media are creating thousands of fake news on Russia every day." The video, which has amassed almost 30,000 views, offered a "how-to" spot misinformation. Update March 8, 2022: EFF has clarified that Channels and Groups are not fully encrypted, end-to-end, updated our post to link to Telegram’s FAQ for Cloud and Secret chats, updated to clarify that auto-delete is available for group and channel admins, and added some additional links.
