According to security firm vx-underground monitoring, cybercriminals impersonated Ross Ulbricht, founder of the dark web marketplace Silk Road, on the X platform to lure users into a Telegram scam, thus infecting malicious software on the device, according to Mario Nawfal, founder and CEO of IBC Group. This "Click-Fix" attack tricked victims into running PowerShell scripts, leading to data theft and potential ransomware attacks. Just a few days ago, Trump pardoned Ulbricht, triggering a new wave of cybercriminal activity linked to its name. Beware of fake accounts and Telegram "verification" scams.
