Telegram messenger again attacked hackers: how not to be a victim of breaking

Moreover, Telegram has long become a similarity to a social network with their communities, groups and a convenient tool for marketers, and therefore hackers have something to eat. It does not pass the month so that the messenger does not cover the next Phishing attack (trying to get the user to go to the harmful site). And here another attack did not make it long. At least, a user with a nickname Molfar warns on Twitter.

He conducted a mini investigation to the best of his strength, and that's what he found out. The attackers operate "by classics". With the help of fake (or broken) accounts, they send to the chats of different groups and channels the request to vote for the user in the competition. Naturally, the phishing reference reverses the victim to the infected resource.

According to Molfar, when the link is loaded by the open code Telegram Web from GitHub, but the specialist will immediately notice the cryptoiner. It is the link from the Phishing Message that leads the Cloudflare hosting servers and to get more information about the owner of the new domain from the Molfar - the hoster reliably protects information about the owner.

If you play with fake numbers a little, the mistakes of the messenger will come out, and Molfar even found a hacking piece of code that the attacker attributed to the original code from GitHub. The author of the mini investigation states that the essence of phishing is to make a person to authorize the fake reference through the messenger. Only at the time of authorization will the data for the entrance will be fused on the hackers.

However, if the victim has any authentication protection, the phishing link throws it to another resource, where on the Telegram fake page he needs to answer personal questions, with which the cybercrime will try to access his account through.
