币界网报道：Telegram's recent crackdown on crypto-related scams has failed to curb the rise of new illicit crypto hubs, according to a report by blockchain analytics firm Elliptic. Despite shutting down numerous scam channels, cybercriminals continue exploiting the platform's privacy features to promote fraudulent schemes, including fake token sales and phishing attacks. The report highlights that Telegram remains a hotspot for crypto crime due to its encrypted messaging and large user base, with scammers increasingly shifting to private chats and smaller groups to evade detection. Elliptic identified over 1,000 active scam channels, many linked to notorious groups like "The Com" and "Worm," which have stolen millions from unsuspecting investors. Authorities face challenges in tracking these activities as criminals leverage Telegram's anonymity and cross-border operations. The findings underscore the need for stronger regulatory measures and user awareness to combat crypto fraud on messaging platforms.
