telegram malware

Telegram malware coverage on WindowsForum.com focuses on how attackers abuse Telegram and other messaging platforms to deliver threats to Windows users. A recurring example is CHOSEN BRICK, Windows-only spyware linked by the FBI, the UK's NCSC, and the Netherlands' AIVD to Iranian state actors targeting dissidents, activists, and journalists. Rather than exploiting a Windows vulnerability, these campaigns rely on social engineering: attackers build trust over WhatsApp or Telegram, then convince a specific target to run a fake application or document. The tag is most useful for tracking messaging-app-based malware delivery, state-sponsored targeting, and the advisories that document these evolving threats.
