Hello gang,
Let’s start with something I read on my email from the Kim Komando Newsletter today.
The trivia question from the Water Cooler of the newsletter is:
Say hello to the new Dark Web: The encrypted chat app Telegram was founded by two Russians and has over 700 million active monthly users. It’s also home
to Huione Guarantee, the largest illegal marketplace selling personal data and tools linked to pig-butchering schemes. One founder recently told a French court they’d “improve its moderation procedures” for Telegram. Sure. Between November 2024 and now, crypto scams on Telegram have increased by over by what percent? Stay away.
The words Pig Butchering came as a link to this digest of stories titled The Wiretap: At $24 Billion In Sales, The Biggest Illicit Marketplace Ever Is On Telegram.
I can tell you that the answer to the above question is over 100 percent, but that’s all your hint will be.
With this said, I read the first story as part of this digest of stories, and I’m not surprised and I don’t know if any of my team wanted to believe this either.
If you have guesses, you may call me at (888) 405-7524 or (818) 527-4754. You may also use the click to call wigit provided below.
We’ll provide the answer to this question next week on podcast 224 and Throwback for that coming Saturday.
Good luck!
