A new threat discovered by Palo Alto Networks' Unit42 shows how attackers can use Telegram as a command‑and‑control channel and an LLM to translate natural‑language requests into shell commands, enabling even non‑technical users to remotely control compromised machines while evading traditional detection.
A technical review reveals that Telegram’s MTProto protocol exposes a permanent 64‑bit device identifier (auth_key_id) in clear text, enabling passive observers—including ISPs, mobile carriers, and state surveillance—to track users across app restarts, IP changes, VPNs, and even Tor, rendering secret chats and PFS ineffective.
The article dissects a recent attack where a PowerShell script hidden in a Pastebin post uses character‑level steganography to retrieve a C2 address, extracts Telegram Desktop's tdata files, compresses them, and exfiltrates the data via a hard‑coded Telegram Bot API, while employing hidden execution, fileless memory loading, environment detection, and self‑destruct on virtual machines.
In early 2026 a rival hacker group released 918 previously paid breach databases for free on Telegram, exposing internal disputes within ShinyHunters and aiming to cripple their attempt to revive BreachForums by making the data openly available.
Security researchers uncovered a CVSS 9.8 zero‑click vulnerability in Telegram that lets attackers execute code and fully control Android and Linux devices by sending a specially crafted animated sticker, and the flaw has been patched but requires immediate user updates.
Claude Code’s newly released Channels feature lets developers control active Claude Code sessions from Telegram or Discord on their phones, using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to create a bidirectional server, while the preview highlights both setup steps and its broader strategic impact on AI‑driven development.
This guide walks through setting up a continuously running AI Agent Team using OpenClaw, covering hardware choices, installation, file structure, agent roles, coordination via markdown files, scheduling, self‑healing cron jobs, security, cost, troubleshooting, and step‑by‑step recommendations for incremental deployment.
The article details a fully automated workflow that fetches 92 top‑tech blogs via RSS, cleans the content into Markdown, uses a MiniMax‑M2.5 LLM to generate concise Chinese summaries, and delivers them through Bark and a Telegram bot, all stored for seamless integration with Obsidian.
This article introduces four open‑source projects—Scrapling for self‑adjusting web crawling, Agent‑Skills‑for‑Context‑Engineering for AI agent memory management, claude‑code‑telegram for remote Claude Code access via Telegram, and Hugging Face Skills for versatile AI task automation—detailing their core features, popularity, and installation steps.
This article walks you through the complete process of creating a Telegram bot, from finding BotFather and issuing the /newbot command to naming the bot, setting a unique username, retrieving the access token, and securely storing it in your environment variables.
