▶️ Our two cents:
Well, this is not a real vulnerability on Telegram Desktop, no one can remotely take control of your computer or Telegram unless you open a malicius file.
This kind of vulnerability is based on social engineering.
In fact, it was a .js file hidden on a a .png file, this happened thanks to RTL characters.
Windows users must click on the Run dialog in order to install the malware.
So don't worry, unless you opened a malicius file, you have always been safe.

Fake binance site with ssl, careful of phishing sites. Dont click on urls to exchanges from search engines, make sure you type the name correctly & directly as a url. Also enable 2FA on outbound funds.

Woah. Unicode 'n' characters in a domain name as a super dangerous spoofed cryptocurrency exchange. Even has an SSL cert.
❗️PSA: A new type of scam has been circulating asking people to deposit crypto into an address "To get free crypto returned to the sending address within 24 hours". Often its posted by fake well known crypto celebrities. Please dont be an idiot & send crypto! ~Thanks
