2025 Aryn assault

In the first quarter of 2025, a conflict erupted between pyrouser and Aryn, leading to pyrouser doxxing personal information of Aryn, sending personal threats, and a failed plan of his arrest.

The escalations were suspected to be because of Aryn's criticism of his project GladOS.

pyrouser

Also known as Mark, or by his supposedly real name Aleksandr Vykhodets, a Moldovan racketeer who is known for raiding channels using his bot farms so that their owners would pay for his raid protection bot GladOS. He also publicly targets individuals with unfavorable opinions as seen in his assault on Aryn.

Some suspect that they could have green lights from Pavel Durov due to the unintelligibly fast spam rate of his bot farms without getting limited by Telegram Anti-Spam.
