A new report claims hackers are turning to Telegram. Causes cited include the service's ease of use and allowance of relative anonymity. Telegram gives hackers access to infected computers directly from their phones. New research by Check Point Software Technologies' malware analyst Omer Hofman indicates that Telegram is a growing hub for threat actor activity (via TechRadar). Thanks to Whatsapp alienating some users with its new policies and settings, Telegram's become more relevant than ever. But where there is popularity, there is danger. The cybercriminals in question are using Telegram as a command and control (C&C) system for the dispersal of their digital weapons. One in particular that Check Point Research (CPR) has seen an uptick in lately is the remote access trojan "ToxicEye," which CPR has noticed crop up in over 130 attacks just within a three-month window.
