Telegram disaster

https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1ss24a6

英文原文:

dear crypto, I want to come clean, and I will likely tear a rift in the entire community while I'm at it and on my way out.

Over the course of these next few weeks I will be releasing 137.21GB of Telegram group chats and messages, of which I was not a part of. Why? This is all thanks to an exploit in October of 2019 that allowed one to access the group page with recent messages if proper permissions were not set up. At the time of writing this, the team at Telegram have been contacted about this. I've only ever seen two people mention this exploit in passing, one in person and one on Twitter, so I know I was not the only one.

Those who know me will know who I am very soon, for the rest of the populace it doesn't matter. Due to the overwhelming amount of messages, I formally invite reputable press within the community to reach out in order to obtain sample archives from groups I've already curated. I will vet you because there is a conflict of interest as many are involved personally, whether being friends of those individuals in this archive or related financially in one way or another. You will receive the .7zip archive ahead of time but it will be password-protected until the 7th of July.

I have no further relationships with the people mentioned after this and will never be in contact with them in the future as of this moment.

Three years ago, a vulnerability on Telegram was discovered by a colleague of mine. He did not take it to its final outcome. By exploiting this, one could recreate an invite to view the overview page and recent messages of any Telegram group of an individual user without actually joining said group.

Between October of 2019 to May of 2022 I was collecting all messages as is in my data hoarding nature. I had written a script that downloads every message sent to any Telegram group with targetted individuals, you may know some of them as crypto influencers, while others targetted included many investors in the space. As Telegram adoption among crypto users began to grow, it began to become increasingly difficult to monitor all these group chats so I stepped away for a while and let the messages continue to download and be copied to my personal server.

For the most popular traders in the community, spying on them became a hobby. From personal events in their lives shared with their closest friend groups, to scams and rugpulls that were created on their way to success, financially and socially on Twitter. I felt like a part of it even though I had no method to interact with them. However, as they got rich, I got rich. I got myself into plenty of VC groups and soon my entire circle of friends and those I talked to became one and the same.

I did not care in the past, some of these people are looked up to in the ecosystem nowadays and the thought of these individuals commiting fraud would be dismissed in an instant. Some even moving on from their days of bygone scams under anonymous names with their groups of friends (while others continue to persist to this day).

Artists pretending to be developers, developers pretending to be artists. Those pretending to be rich, those pretending to be poor, pretending to be someone you're not. All of that was exposed to me. All of that was this community at its core when expressing themselves to the public, usually through Twitter.

I do not know what it is about Telegram, but the alleged assurance of privacy and security meant that people became relaxed and let them express themselves freely.

It doesn't matter to me anymore. I am dying from illnesses that are wreaking havoc on my body. Any money I made will just go on to my family, and I will disappear after that.

But not before this feeling of guilt is released from me.

Many of the individuals or projects I name will not survive this, either due to public backlash, financial fraud, or other obscure reasons such as embarrassment. Some may step down from their positions of power, others will likely ignore it as they can't claim the messages that are archvied are fraudulent unless everyone involved in the group chats are all on the same page.

There will be confusion, there will be sadness, there will be anger and there will be frustration. I am intrigued to see what happens next but I let everyone else decide how to proceed forward.

June 15th will publish excerpts from:

  • crypto influencers, ranging from as little as 800 followers to as much as 1M followers
  • discussions pertaining to racism and homophobia, of adultery and sexual assault on members of the public and those within the crypto communities
  • those with 8-9 figures and high amounts of Twitter followers discussing rugpull projects, projects intended to scam the community and individuals, dating between Dec 2019 - Feb 2022
  • killing and stealing the crypto of an individual with a group of friends (coordinated through telegram)

June 30th:

  • project creators in the top 200 mcap projects, from yield-farming projects, to stablecoins, to AMM's all designed from the start to siphon funds from the majority of users
  • discussions of everything included from the crypto influencers
  • invitation to orgies on private jets, in mansions, in VR settings, orgies everywhere
  • sexual assault, rape, and pedophilia including pedophilic orgies with victims as young as 8 years old
  • assassination, not once, not twice, but three times (coordinated through telegram)
  • lots of adultery and weird obsessions with ex-girlfriends by gifting them millions in dollars hoping to get them to fall back in love with you (you know who you are, just let it go)
  • asking twitter employees to personally delete and/or ban accounts relating to incriminating information

July 7th: Everything will be released.

e135846e2594f4ddb45abee1e27c8521329e440b9af77891a29ae54f8cd71bbc - 137.21GB .7zip titled "CTGHistory"

Password will be provided and all messages on June 15th, 30th and July 7th will be available through a signed transaction at the following address: 0xdC56BCccf3fa51687f339E2425E9Bc1a2acB42Ee

I don't require a PGP for verification. Twitter will likely take this message down, at the end of the day, I did what I could to undo the power and success granted to those that do not deserve it.

To those in my life, I am sorry but this is what I decided. I hope you understand.

中文翻译:

我想说清楚,在我做这件事的时候,我可能会在整个社区撕开一道裂缝,在我离开的时候。

在接下来的几周里,我将发布137.21GB的Telegram群组聊天记录和信息,其中我并没有参与其中。为什么?这都要归功于2019年10月的一个漏洞,在没有设置适当的权限的情况下,就可以访问带有最近信息的群组页面。在写这篇文章的时候,Telegram的团队已经就此事进行了联系。我只见过两个人顺便提到过这个漏洞,一个是本人,一个是在Twitter上,所以我知道我不是唯一的一个。

认识我的人很快就会知道我是谁,对于其他民众来说,这并不重要。由于信息量过大,我正式邀请社区内有声望的媒体联系,以便从我已经策划好的团体中获得样本档案。我将对你进行审查,因为有利益冲突,因为许多人都涉及到个人,不管是这个档案中那些人的朋友,还是在某种程度上有经济关系。你将提前收到.7zip档案,但在7月7日之前,它将受到密码保护。

在这之后,我与所提到的人没有进一步的关系,从这一刻起,今后也不会再与他们接触。

三年前,Telegram上的一个漏洞被我的一个同事发现。他并没有把它带到最后的结果。通过利用这个漏洞,人们可以重新创建一个邀请,以查看个人用户的任何Telegram组的概述页面和最近的消息,而无需实际加入所述组。

在2019年10月至2022年5月期间,我正在收集所有的消息,因为这是我囤大数据的本性。我写了一个脚本,下载发送到任何Telegram群组的目标个人的每一条信息,你可能知道其中一些是加密货币影响者,而其他目标包括该领域的许多投资者。随着Telegram在加密货币用户中的应用开始增长,监控所有这些群组聊天开始变得越来越困难,所以我离开了一段时间,让信息继续下载并复制到我的个人服务器。

对于社区中最受欢迎的交易者,监视他们成为一种爱好。从他们生活中的个人事件与他们最亲密的朋友群体分享,到他们在Twitter上成功的道路上创造的骗局和毯子,经济上和社会上。我觉得自己是其中的一员,尽管我没有办法与他们互动。然而,随着他们发财,我也发财了。我让自己进入了大量的风险投资团体,很快我的整个朋友圈和我交谈的人都变成了同一个人。

过去我并不在意,如今这些人中的一些人在生态系统中被人仰视,一想到这些人犯了欺诈罪,就会立刻被驳回。有些人甚至从过去以匿名的名义与他们的朋友群体一起诈骗的日子里继续前进(而其他人则继续坚持到今天)。

艺术家假扮成开发商,开发商假扮成艺术家。那些假装富有的人,那些假装贫穷的人。所有这些都暴露在我面前。

所有这些你们看到的,都是这些项目核心团队在向社区公众呈现时的形象,通常是通过Twitter。

我不知道Telegram是什么,但所谓的隐私和安全的保证意味着人们变得轻松,让他们自由地表达自己。

这对我来说已经无所谓了。我正被疾病折磨得奄奄一息,对我的身体造成了巨大的破坏。我赚的任何钱都只会转给我的家人,之后我就会在这个世界上消失。

但在这种内疚感从我身上释放出来之前,我所提到的许多个人或项目将无法生存下去,要么是由于公众的反感,财务欺诈,要么是其他不起眼的原因,如尴尬。有些人可能会从他们的权力位置上退下来,其他人很可能会忽视它,因为他们不能声称被存档的信息是欺诈性的,除非参与群聊的每个人都在同一页上。

会有混乱,会有悲伤,会有愤怒,会有挫折。我很想知道接下来会发生什么,但我让其他人决定如何继续前进。

对我生命中的人,我很抱歉,但这是我的决定。我希望你能理解。
