Lately, it has been found that there is a spread of phishing links on Telegram, stating the offer of MyKasih Sumbangan Asas Rahmah. This link targets Telegram users, and users who click on the link have the potential to lose access to their Telegram account.
Through the MyCERT sharing, users are seen receiving Telegram links from random accounts or friends they know – asking them to click on the link and register on the link.
Once clicked, the user is taken to a phishing page, which then asks the user to enter a phone number. It will then state that the OTP has been sent to the Telegram number, and ask the user to enter the OTP on the page.
Once the OTP is entered, the site will ask the user to enter the Telegram password. And finally, the user will be shown a message stating that they are eligible to receive "MyKasih" assistance.
Either way, once they reach the final page, users will lose their Telegram account. Next, the user's account will be used to continue spreading and finding new victims.
People are asked to be careful, and not to click on any shared links, and to report to the authorities if they become a victim of this kind of fraud. Also refer to the MyCERT page for various further steps and avoid becoming a victim of phishing.
