The Telegram platform removed two large -scale digital black markets - Xinbi Guarantee and Huione Guarantee , which operated in Chinese and served fraudsters and cybercriminals. About it reports Reuters with reference to the analytical company Elliptic .
According to Elliptic , since 2021, these sites have made more than $ 35 billion transactions. They provided access to stolen personal data, money laundering services and telecommunications infrastructure.
"This is a serious blow to online hammerism, as these markets were key to serving criminal activity," Elliptic .
In a brief statement in English, published on her own site, Huione Guarantee reported that she had been blocked by Telegram on Tuesday, and the company was "stopping from this point". This market also worked for some time under the name Haowang Guarantee .
Huione Gurantee is a Huione Group , based in Cambodia and has Huione Pay and Huione Crypto . According to US officials, Huione Pay received cryptocurrencies for more than $ 150,000 from a wallet used by the Lazarus .
In early May, the United States made a decision to block the Huione Group access to the American financial system, which was another blow to global cybercrime.
