TechFlow News According to a report by Protos, a United Nations report has revealed that Telegram has become a safe haven for criminal networks in Southeast Asia, enabling them to launder stolen funds using cryptocurrency, trade hacked data, and obtain tools for fraud. The UN stated that end-to-end encrypted applications have fundamentally transformed the way organized crime operates. The UN found that criminal syndicates in Southeast Asia generate annual profits between $27.4 billion and $36.5 billion. Unlicensed cryptocurrency exchanges were also reported to be advertising money laundering services on the platform. One ad discovered by the UN claimed, "We transfer $3 million stolen overseas every day." Criminal networks use Telegram to trade stolen sensitive information—from credit details to passwords—and to purchase malware designed for stealing funds. Additionally, at least 10 Deepfake software providers were found promoting their services to criminals.
