At the time of writing, webuygptbot displays a total of 1,422 ChatGPT Cyber accounts purchased. It also announced a separate round offering $200 USDT per eligible account, capped at 50 purchases.
The message offered automatic checks and payment of $250 USDT (BEP20) per ChatGPT Cyber account, plus a 5% referral fee. The offer specifically targeted accounts advertised as having completed KYC verification.
Tracing those accounts led us to a Telegram user named "miau". In an OTC chat, this account advertised buying ChatGPT Cyber accounts via "webuygptbot".
We followed the funding trail beyond the attacking wallet. It led to a wallet holding Telegram Anonymous Numbers NFTs. We then identified Telegram accounts associated with those numbers.

12,824 + 1,000 USDT was bridged from TON via Symbiosis. Another 10,000 GRAM appears to have been withdrawn via Changelly. The wallet also sold GRAM on STONfi and moved funds through cross-chain services.
