Mist

Foundation

In a recent revelation, the founder of Slow Mist has brought to light a concerning new phishing scam exploiting the Telegram Open Network (TON) transfer system. This deceitful scheme lures users into receiving seemingly discounted USDT tokens by leveraging misleading message comments within the TON blockchain.&nbsp; 
With phrases like “Received +5,000 USDT,” unsuspecting users are drawn into the illusion of acquiring substantial funds, which is obviously a trap.

The TON blockchain, celebrated for its asynchronous nature and smart contract capabilities, serves as a conduit for data transmission among its users. 
However, the surge in TON’s user base, propelled by the growing interest in blockchain technology, has unfortunately paved the way for fraudulent practices like TON phishing messages. 
As an integral component of the Web3 ecosystem, TON aspires to redefine decentralized experiences beyond DeFi, dApps, and DAOs. With developers actively collaborating to cater to Telegram’s extensive user base exceeding 700 million, the TON Foundation assumes a crucial role in nurturing this innovative landscape.
