Official @wallet bot, @wallet_supportbot and wallet's X account sent scam messages to users today...
Forwarded from Wallet News
Last night, few thousands users received a compromised message sent from Wallet’s official support channel. The message included a phishing link which was unauthorised by us. The cause of this vulnerability has been rectified, and no user funds were ever under threat. The perpetrators found a small vulnerability in our integration of a third-party service used by our support team which allowed them to send a limited number of messages. Our team promptly fixed the issue and revoked all external access.

The 10 or so users who responded to the compromised message will be compensated in full. We will conduct additional checks for our customer service third party software to make sure this does not happen again, and apologise for the inconvenience.

To reiterate, funds were always completely secure, and only our customer service plug-in was affected.
⚠️⚠️ Pavel Durov just got arrested in France 🇫🇷

Pavel Durov arrived from a trip in Azerbaijan and is under arrest in France.
The Justice considers that the absence of moderation, cooperation with the forces of law and order and the tools proposed by Telegram (disposable number, crypto, etc.) makes it complicit in drug trafficking, child criminal offences and fraud.

🌐 Almost a billion users globally use Telegram as means of communication and as a source of vital information.

The French prosecutor's office released a list of charges against Pavel Durov: - Complicity in administering an online platform with the purpose of conducting illegal transactions by an organized group; - Refusal to provide information or documents requested…
Some channels are saying that this list of charges are against an "unnamed person" and not against Durov.

But this unnamed person seems to be Durov, because some of the charges could only be committed by someone who runs a communication platform.

For example:
- Complicity in administering an online platform with the purpose of conducting illegal transactions by an organized group;
- Refusal to provide information or documents requested by authorities necessary for the implementation and use of legally permitted wiretapping;
- Provision of cryptographic services that do not solely ensure the functions of authentication or integrity control, aimed at ensuring confidentiality functions without appropriate declaration;
- Supply of cryptographic means that do not solely ensure the functions of authentication or integrity control without prior declaration;


Other indication that the charges are against Durov is the fact that the describe crime is "complicity" with a crime and not the crime itself.
Durov is also subject to a criminal complaint in Switzerland

The Telegram founder is facing a lawsuit in Switzerland from Irina Bolgar filed in March 2023, who claims he is the father of her three children.

She also claim he used force against his youngest son 5 times between 2021|2022, stopped seeing their children in September 2022 and “blocked” access to the 150,000-euro child support payments around the same time.

📱🔒 Brazilian judge blocks X (Twitter) in the country 🇧🇷

The judge also ordered:
- account blocking from influencer, elected senators and others users for political reasons,

- blocking of SpaceX bank accounts to pay for X (Twitter) fines,
- blocking of VPNs in the country,
- R$ 50,000 fine for each Brazilian using VPN to access X.

All this in a secret investigation with illegal bases that has been going without public legal process for almost 2,000 days.

📝 List of some ilegal orders related X's blocking in Brazil:

↘️ 14/03/20: STF starts an investigation about fake news posted on the internet that target the Court and its ministers. (Source)
Why is this ilegal:
1) In Brazil, the object an investigation must not be undefined, it must indicating the specific fact to be investigated. "All fake news against court" is not a specific fact for an investigation.
2) The appointment of Alexandre de Moraes as responsible minister was not random and violates the requirement of distribution. - Art. 66, Internal Regulations of the STF: “The distribution will be made by lottery or prevention, through a computerized system, activated automatically, in each class of process.”
3) The STF has no jurisdiction over the case. The federal police and the first instance federal court are the ones responsible for investigating fake news on the internet. The article 43 of the Internal Regulations of the STF is only related to crimes that happened inside STF's building and not on the Internet .
4) The opening of an investigation by Judiciary itself violates the accusatory system adopted by the Brazilian Constitution. - Art. 129, I "exclusive responsibility of the Public Prosecutor's Office to promote public criminal action".
5) The investigation violates freedom of speech
Freedom of speech is not an absolute right in Brazil. But STF is treating "criticisms against the judges" as if they were "fake news" and "crimes against the democratic rule of law".

↘️17/08/22: Twitter’s legal team received a court order from Moraes compelling them to provide data from all X users who used the hashtag #VotoDemocráticoAuditável. (Source)
Why is this ilegal: Under Brazil's legal system, breach of personal data confidentiality cannot happen against countless individuals. Judge must describe for each post which individuals (or accounts) will have their data breached.
(Source)


↘️09/04/24: Alexandre de Moraes includes Elon Musk in the digital militias inquiry. (Source)
Why is this ilegal:
In Brazil, the judge cannot include an someone as investigated it it's own case, Public Prosecutor's Office is the one who should do it. Brazilian Constitution of 1988, art. 129, I: "exclusive responsibility of the Public Prosecutor's Office to promote public criminal action". (Source)
Also, Moraes did not specified which was the conduct Elon Musk is being investigated of. Although Moraes added Musk as investigated itself, he determined that Federal Police (PF) is the one who should inform which crimes he committed. (Source)


↘️09/04/24: Alexandre de Moraes threatened to arrest Brazilian X lawyer if the X from USA did not block some accounts (Source)
Why is this ilegal:
One person could not be criminally responsible for another person's "crime". Art. 5º XLV of Constitution: The law may not extend beyond the person of the convicted person. (Source)
After the threat of arrest, the lawyer and legal representative of X in Brasil resigned to avoid being arrested. (Source)


↘️08/08/24 Alexandre de Moraes orders that X shut down the account of the Brazilian senator Marcos do Val (Source)
X considered this order "political persecution" against the Brazilian senator and did not proceeded the blocking.

↘️16/08/24: Alexandre de Moraes threatened (again) to arrest and fine X's lawyer if the X from USA did not block accounts in Brazil (Source)

↘️ 29/08/24: Moraes orders the blocking of SpaceX bank accounts, according to him, SpaceX should pay X fines (Source)
Why is this illegal:
SpaceX and X are different companies from different economic groups with different owners. Elon Musk itself only owns 40% of SpaceX. SpaceX is receiving the punishments of another different company. (Source)
It is also ilegal to issue an order in secret without giving the company right to speak, called in Brazil "adversarial principle". (Source)


↘️ 30/08/24: Moraes orders the blocking of VPNs in Brasil and a fine of R$ 50.000 to anyone using a VPN to access X
Why is this illegal:
Only the law can create obligations for all inhabitants of the country. The application of a fine or any sanction by a judge may only occur after ensuring the contradictory and full defense – never in a prior and summary manner. (Source)
Also, VPN companies could not be blocked without being even notified to express themselves in court, called in Brazil "adversarial principle". (Source)

Yesterday Techcrunch and CoinDesk published that:
"Telegram quietly enables users to report private chats to moderators after founder’s arrest"

and
"Telegram Revamps Rules to Allow Moderation of Private Chats Following CEO Pavel Durov's Arrest"


Titles of the articles are false!
Since a long time Telegram has allowed users to report message content in private groups. It also already allowed users to report accounts that contact them in private (and secret) chats.
This wasn't a change that happen after Durov's arrest.

The article also points that: "Telegram has quietly updated its policy". This is also wrong, there has been no update in Privacy Policy since Durov's arrest.
Update happened only in the FAQ. It is now clearer about how Telegram has always handle reports in chats.

Telegram official account on Twitter confirmed this information:
You could always report messages from any group to moderators, acts like forwarding. Private chats are still private too – although you could always report a new incoming chat to moderators by using Block > Report. Anyone can check our code and see there were no changes. The FAQ change made it clearer how to report things, including via DSA."

Telegram is a crypto company

Telegram Group booked $342.5 million of revenue last year on a hefty operating loss of $108 million

Telegram “integrated wallet” and “sale of collectibles” make up over 40% of Telegram’s revenues.

(Unfortunately stealing people's usernames in 2022 and reselling them in 2023 was profitable)
