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.

Continuing its crackdown against entities allegedly involved in a front-running scam using messaging app Telegram, Sebi on Thursday carried out search and seizure operations at the premises of eight entities in multiple locations across the country. But Kliuchnikov, the Ukranian now in France, said he will use Signal or WhatsApp for sensitive conversations, but questions around privacy on Telegram do not give him pause when it comes to sharing information about the war. At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion. Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. Under the Sebi Act, the regulator has the power to carry out search and seizure of books, registers, documents including electronics and digital devices from any person associated with the securities market.
