Operators of a new Remote Access Trojan (RAT) are exploiting the Telegram service to maintain control of their malware.
Dubbed ToxicEye, the RAT abuses Telegram as part of command-and-control (C2) infrastructure in order to conduct rampant data theft.
On Thursday, Omer Hofman from Check Point Research said in a blog post that the new remote malware has been observed in the wild, with over over 130 attacks recorded in the past three months.
