To promote their “goods”, phishers create Telegram channels through which they educate their audience about phishing and entertain subscribers with polls like, “What type of personal data do you prefer?”. They have become adept at using Telegram both for automating their activities and for providing various services - from selling phishing kits to helping with setting up custom phishing campaigns - to all willing to pay. The service is especially popular with phishers. Common users are not the only ones who have recognized the messaging app’s handy features - cybercrooks have already made it a branch of the dark web, their Telegram activity soaring since late 2021. Telegram has been gaining popularity with users around the world year by year.
