TechFlow news — On March 12, the SlowMist security team issued a warning that social engineering attacks using malware are once again on the rise. Hackers are luring victims into downloading malicious scripts by sending fake video call links. In a recent case, attackers compromised a victim’s friend’s Telegram account and used it to initiate a call invitation.
SlowMist advises users that if they suspect they have been attacked, they should immediately take the following actions:
- 1. Secure assets — If wallet private keys or mnemonic backups are stored on the computer, immediately transfer funds;
- 2. Change passwords and two-factor authentication — Update passwords for Telegram, X, email, and exchange accounts, and check for any unrecognized logins;
- 3. Run a full antivirus scan — Use reputable security software such as AVG, Bitdefender, or Kaspersky;
- 4. If concerns persist, back up important files, reset the system, and scan all content before restoring.
