According to Telegram, the anonymous account’s allegations are “baseless” and meant to “get users to download malware.”
An unknown person attracted the attention of the crypto community this week by claiming to disclose the wrongdoings of notable crypto influencers and top projects in the sector.
The putative whistleblower, who goes by the Twitter handle “Adyingnobody,” has threatened to “tear a wedge in the entire community” by revealing Telegram chats obtained through a previously unknown flaw in the messaging program. They claimed to have evidence of everything from frauds and rug pulls to murder, theft, and sexual assault in a thread.
The whistleblower thanked Telegram for the exploit
Because of the gravity of the allegations, the anonymous person attracted the attention of the crypto Twitter community, moving from zero to 38,000 followers in a matter of hours.
The Ethereum wallet address shown in the person’s Twitter bio has also received 43 transactions, which could be tips from others who want a sneak peek at what they’re planning to reveal.
Regardless of the claims, worried members of the community turned to Twitter to urge people to exercise caution and vigilance while dealing with the supposed whistleblower. If we ignore their spectacular claims, the bottom link simply “download a zip file” and “sign a contract,” according to Twitter user Kapluie.
This is a “hacky sounding item,” according to the Twitter user, who advises against downloading it. While it’s possible that the claims are accurate, Twitter user Cryptonator1337 cautioned that anyone downloading files from the anonymous account should be cautious.
Apart from the two, Twitter user Zugged pointed out that Adyingnobody’s claims were false, calling the deed a “publicity stunt.” Zugged sent a link to a list of Telegram’s flaws, emphasizing that none of them are equivalent to what Adyingnobody claims to have exploited.
The claims were publicly responded to by Telegram. The conduct could be an attempt to “get consumers to download malware.”
