In a recent post, Mr. Cos, the Founder of SlowMist Team, highlighted the increasing prevalence of phishing activities within the TON ecosystem. He explained that the Telegram ecosystem's openness has led to a surge in phishing links and bot forms being distributed through message groups, airdrops, and other deceptive channels to target users' TON wallets, including NFTs and Anonymous Telegram Numbers.&nbsp; 
These <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/crypto-phishing-attacks-increased-by-40-percent" title="phishing" class="f-link">phishing</a> attempts pose a risk of compromising Telegram accounts, particularly if users' Anonymous Telegram Numbers are compromised.
To mitigate this risk, users can enable Two-Step Verification to secure their accounts. It's crucial to remain vigilant against these consistent phishing methods.
