Telegram Trouble: Sneaky Go Backdoor Exploits Cloud C2 Channels
Netskope Threat Labs has uncovered a new Go backdoor malware that’s still under development but already functional. The malware uses Telegram as its command and control (C2) channel, cleverly leveraging cloud apps to make detection difficult. This Russian-origin malware is a reminder that cyber threats continue to evolve in creative ways.
Hot Take:
Watch out, folks! It seems like hackers are switching from the dark web to the cloud with a side of Telegram. Who knew Telegram would be more than just a place to share memes and conspiracy theories? This malware is like the Swiss Army knife of cyber threats—still in beta but already causing headaches. Let’s just hope it doesn’t pivot to using TikTok next!
Key Points:
- A new Go-based backdoor, probably Russian, is making waves.
- Telegram is used as the command and control channel for this malware.
- The malware is fully functional despite being under development.
- It supports several commands including execution, persistence, and self-destruction.
