In Wake of Durov Arrest, Some Cybercriminals Ditch Telegram

Telegram: 'The dark web in your pocket'
The arrest of Telegram’s chief executive in France has ignited a debate about moderation on his app. About nine months ago while researching a story, I found myself added to a large Telegram channel which was focused on selling drugs. I was then added to one about hacking and then one about stolen credit cards. I realised my Telegram settings had made it possible for people to add me to their channels without me doing anything. I kept the settings the same to see what would happen.
Behind the arrest of Telegram boss, a small Paris cybercrime unit with big ambitions
- Durov's arrest marks a shift in dealing with tech chiefs Brousse's unit goes after its biggest ever target Legal experts question the prosecution's argument The investigation into Telegram boss Pavel Durov that has fired a warning shot to global tech titans was started by a small cybercrime unit within the Paris prosecutor's office, led by 38-year-old Johanna Brousse. The arrest of Durov, 39, last Saturday marks a significant shift in how some global authorities may seek to deal with tech chiefs reluctant to police illegal content on their platforms. The arrest signalled the mettle of the J3 cybercrime unit, but the true test of its ambitions will be whether Brousse can secure a conviction based on a largely untested legal argument, lawyers said.

Is Telegram really an encrypted messaging app? – A Few Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering
This blog is reserved for more serious things, and ordinarily I wouldn't spend time on questions like the above. But much as I'd like to spend my time writing about exciting topics, sometimes the world requires a bit of what Brad Delong calls "Intellectual Garbage Pickup," namely: correcting wrong, or mostly-wrong ideas that spread unchecked…

Unmasking Styx Stealer: How a Hacker's Slip Led to an Intelligence Treasure Trove - Check Point Research
- Check Point Research (CPR) recently uncovered Styx Stealer, a new malware capable of stealing browser data, instant messenger sessions from Telegram and Discord, and cryptocurrency. Even though it only recently appeared, it has already been noticed in attacks, including those targeting our customers. The developer of Styx Stealer was found to be linked to one of Agent Tesla threat actors, Fucosreal, who was involved in a spam campaign also targeting our customers. During the debugging of Styx Stealer, the developer made a fatal error and leaked data from his computer, which allowed CPR to obtain a large amount of intelligence, including the number of clients, profit information, nicknames, phone numbers, and email addresses, as well as similar data about the actor behind the Agent Tesla campaign.

Telegram Combolists and 361M Email Addresses
Last week, a security researcher sent me 122GB of data scraped out of thousands of Telegram channels. It contained 1.7k files with 2B lines and 361M unique email addresses of which 151M had never been seen in HIBP before.

I've loaded it into Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) today because there's a huge amount of previously unseen email addresses and based on all the checks I've done, it's legitimate data. That's the high-level overview, now here are the details:
