Telegram phishing campaign targeted exiled Belarusian activist, Russians and Kazakhstanis

Researchers discovered a personalized phishing campaign targeting Telegram users, including an exiled Belarusian activist and individuals in Russia and Kazakhstan. The attackers aimed to hijack accounts through credential theft via Telegram.

Why it matters: Activists, journalists, and individuals in authoritarian regions face elevated targeting risk; practitioners should review Telegram security postures and train users on phishing recognition, especially those with dissidents or high-profile accounts.
