Scammers turn Telegram Mini Apps into crypto fraud traps

FEMITBOT is a large-scale scam network exploiting Telegram Mini App to host fake crypto platforms, impersonate brands and distribute malware. Campaign specifically endangers DeFi users, DEX/CEX customers and token-launch participants, risking fund theft, compromised wallets and disrupted fundraising. Security and adoption impact: the attack undermines trust in Telegram-based onboarding and could slow token launches and fundraising unless platform mitigations and user security practices improve.
