Account Suspension in Telegram Due to Malicious Link

A malicious link has been discovered in the Telegram messenger, leading to instant account suspension for spam. Clicking on such a URL triggers the automatic sending of a pre-prepared message from the user's account.

The scheme works as follows: the victim clicks the link, after which a spam message is sent from their device. The protection system detects a violation of platform rules and applies sanctions to the account owner.

To prevent losing access to your profile, it is recommended to avoid clicking on suspicious links from chats and channels. Users should exercise caution when interacting with unknown resources.

The Telegram development team quickly identified the vulnerability and fixed the issue. Messenger servers no longer allow this attack vector to be implemented via standard links.
