Heads-up on how this kind of NFT theft usually happens:

1⃣ Phishing :

Most likely, the victim ended up on a fake website that looked like the real Fragment site or a TON wallet. After entering their private key or signing a sketchy transaction, the attacker got full access to their assets.

2⃣ Signing a suspicious transaction

The victim may have unknowingly signed a transaction — maybe through a fake site or even a shady Telegram bot — that gave permission to transfer all their NFTs.

3⃣ Compromised or shady wallet app

If they were using unofficial or unknown wallet apps, it’s possible the software was infected with malware and leaked the private key.

4⃣Social engineering attack

Someone might’ve gained the victim’s trust and convinced them to sign something “for a test” or “collab,” which ended up giving the attacker access.

🎁 Forbes told about Tonnel Gift

In the latest issue of the billionaires digest, Forbes Russia wrote that Mr Freeman gave Pavel Durov a rare Plush Pepe #1.

Pavel Durov was presented with a digital Pepe the Frog on Telegram worth 14,850 TON, which is equivalent to $47,000. The virtual gift Plush Pepe #1 was sent to the businessman by Mr FreeMan, the owner of an OTC gift marketplace on Telegram.

This is how an Iranian for $45k attracted the attention of both Pasha, who accepted the gift and added it to his status, and the media. Learn, the biggest one.

The Chinese report that Durov banned their usernames without any reason, which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars

Also, according to the Telegram security service, things are not so clear-cut; these users were involved in something.

⚠️ UPD:

These users were used to guarantee transactions, and this is most likely the reason for the blocking.

😎 Pavel Durov mentioned NFT usernames during his speech at the Oslo Freedom Forum.

🗣 In his speech, he spoke about the fight for freedom, the restrictions and regulations imposed by governments, and the challenges he faced as the founder of the second most popular messaging app in the world.

🏴‍☠️ Among other things, Durov highlighted that Telegram is the first app to allow users to tokenize usernames, thereby protecting their digital identity:

For example, we are probably the only popular app that allows users to tokenize their usernames and directly own them through blockchain.
This way, no one — not even us at Telegram — can take away their digital identity.

😅 User accidentally bought a blocked 4C username for 3,000 TON

⛔ The buyer was attracted by the low price — the floor price for 4-letter usernames is 5,050 TON. The purchase was made through a bot, and he didn’t notice the banner showing the username’s status.

Now the investor is trying to sell this junk for 2,900 TON.
