The messaging platform, known for its hands-off moderation approach, will now share users\u2019 phone numbers and IP addresses with law enforcement following court orders. This change applies to various criminal investigations, expanding beyond the previous limit of only terror-related offenses. You can read the full details of the new policy on<a href=\"https:\/\/telegram.org\/privacy?setln=fa\">\u00a0Telegram\u2019s Privacy Policy page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><b>What Telegram\u2019s New Policy Means for Privacy and Security<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>The update comes amidst increasing legal pressures on Telegram and its founder, Pavel Durov, after his recent detainment in France. Authorities have been pressuring Telegram to combat the illegal activities flourishing on the platform, which ultimately led to this sweeping policy update.

This update signals a turning point, as the platform will now cooperate with authorities in criminal investigations.<\/p>\n<h4><b>How Cybercriminals Are Reacting to Telegram\u2019s Policy Update<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>KELA\u2019s research reveals widespread unease within cybercriminal communities about these changes. Groups like\u00a0<b>Ghosts of Palestine<\/b>\u00a0have publicly declared their intentions to leave Telegram and seek out more privacy-centric platforms.\u00a0<b>RipperSec<\/b>, another prominent hacktivist group, has already begun setting up backup channels on\u00a0<b>Discord<\/b>, anticipating that Telegram\u2019s cooperation with law enforcement will pose a threat to their anonymity\u200b.\u00a0<b>Al Ahad<\/b>, also hacktivists, created a Signal group and promised to close their Telegram channel soon. The\u00a0<b>GlorySec<\/b>\u00a0hacktivists even mentioned they \u201cmay or may not created\u201d Facebook and Threads accounts, though without taking any actions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28782\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28782\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28782 size-medium entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture1_very-first-300x195.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture1_very-first-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture1_very-first.png 742w\" alt=\"Ghost of Palestine announcing their intention to find alternative to Telegram\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture1_very-first-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture1_very-first.png 742w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture1_very-first-300x195.png\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28782\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ghost of Palestine announcing their intention to find alternative to Telegram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28776\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28776\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28776 size-medium entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture1-300x191.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture1-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture1.png 487w\" alt=\"Al Ahad claiming to leave Telegram in favor of Signal\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture1-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture1.png 487w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture1-300x191.png\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28776\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Al Ahad claiming to leave Telegram in favor of Signal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, other groups are taking more pragmatic approaches.\u00a0<b>UserSec<\/b>, for example, is now offering tutorials on how to maintain anonymity on Telegram, sharing tips on evading detection under the new data-sharing rules. On the\u00a0<b>BF Repo V3 Chat<\/b>\u00a0group, a Telegram chat related to BreachForums\u2019 users, members have even floated the idea of creating a custom messaging platform using Telegram\u2019s GUI as a foundation to continue their activities with less risk of exposure\u200b.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, KELA has witnessed different cybercriminals discussing\u00a0<b>Jabber, Matrix<\/b>, and\u00a0<b>Session<\/b>\u00a0as alternatives to Telegram, however, mostly for private messaging or private groups \u2014 while Telegram provides them with an opportunity to create open communities around illegal activity. So far only\u00a0<b>Discord<\/b>\u00a0was mentioned as a platform that can provide the same functionality, as well as\u00a0<b>Signal<\/b>\u00a0groups.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these initial responses, there hasn\u2019t yet been a mass exodus of cybercriminals from Telegram. However, these discussions signal potential future movement as groups and individuals weigh their options in response to the platform\u2019s shift.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Will Telegram\u2019s Policy Shift Impact Criminal Activity?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>It is yet unclear if this policy change has the potential to significantly disrupt criminal activity on Telegram and drive them to Discord or other platforms. While cybercriminals are definitely expressing their concerns on the matter, their operations on Telegram are just too scaled to be shifted to another platform right away.<\/p>\n<p>For example, infostealers\u2019 operations use Telegram not only to sell and share harvested data through \u201cclouds of logs\u201d. Read more in our blog:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/blog\/telegram-clouds-of-logs-the-fastest-gateway-to-your-network\/\">Telegram Clouds of Logs \u2013 the fastest gateway to your network<\/a>. Commodity infostealers provoked the emergence of cybercriminal gangs and teams working together to infect as many people as possible. To coordinate their activities, many use Telegram, creating all types of tools: channels for hiring new traffers and advertising the team, public and private chats for coordinating activities and discussions, and Telegram bots for automating tasks, payments and more. Such behavior is common among many malware-as-a-service operations, as well as hacktivists and other cybercriminals.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Telegram\u2019s new dedicated team of moderators, leveraging AI, is stepping up efforts to monitor and remove illegal content from its search features. This heightened focus on moderation could make it more difficult for cybercriminals to operate openly on the platform\u200b. However, many of them are used to deal with such barriers. As seen with groups like\u00a0<b>UserSec<\/b>, some may attempt to exploit loopholes or develop strategies to continue their operations despite these new challenges. KELA is aware of cybercriminals maintaining backup Telegram channels for a while now; usually, once their main channel is banned, they will switch to another one, which was proactively advertised to their followers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28778\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28778\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28778 size-medium entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture2-300x211.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture2-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture2-450x316.png 450w, https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture2.png 518w\" alt=\"RipperSec listing their backup channel for subscribers\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture2-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture2-450x316.png 450w, https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture2.png 518w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.kelacyber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Telegram-Picture2-300x211.png\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28778\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">RipperSec listing their backup channel for subscribers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The policy shift won\u2019t eliminate cybercrime on Telegram, but it\u2019s likely to change how threat actors operate in the short and long term.<\/p>\n<h4><b>What This Means for Threat Intelligence: Insights from KELA<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>For companies like KELA, these changes present both challenges and opportunities. While some cybercriminals may move to other platforms, KELA\u2019s unmatched coverage ensures we continue to track and monitor activity across a wide range of forums and messaging apps. It\u2019s not just about knowing the right sources \u2014 it\u2019s about gaining access to these underground communities. KELA\u2019s combination of human expertise and advanced technology provides unique access to forums and channels that are often hidden from other intelligence providers.<\/p>\n<p>This constant vigilance allows us to stay ahead of emerging trends, tracking where threat actors are moving and how they are attempting to evade detection. By adapting quickly to shifts in the cybercrime landscape, KELA ensures our clients receive actionable insights, helping them to stay proactive in their defense strategies, even as platforms like Telegram evolve.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Conclusion: The Future of Telegram and Cybercrime<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Telegram\u2019s recent policy shift is a clear response to mounting legal pressure and a broader need to curb the platform\u2019s use for illegal activities. While the new rules may drive some criminals to more secure platforms, Telegram\u2019s 900 million active users mean it will likely remain a key player in the cybercrime ecosystem for the time being<\/p>\n<p>As these changes take hold, KELA will continue to provide critical intelligence on how threat actors are adapting to the evolving landscape, ensuring that security teams stay one step ahead of malicious activity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Ngu\u1ed3n: kelacyber.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .vgblk-rw-wrapper --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Telegram recently made waves by updating its privacy policy, marking a significant departure from its long-standing reputation as a haven for privacy-focused users, including cybercriminals.
