Hackers are leveraging the popular Telegram messaging app by embedding its code inside a remote access trojan (RAT) dubbed ToxicEye, new research has found. A victim’s computer infected with the ToxicEye malware is controlled via a hacker-operated Telegram messaging account.

The ToxicEye malware can take over file systems, install ransomware, and leak data from victim’s PCs, according to researchers at Check Point Software Technologies.
