Fake Telegram apps are doing rounds that can hack your computer regardless of antivirus protection

Fake Telegram apps are posing a huge threat to Windows users. The cybersecurity researchers reported that the fake app has the ability to bypass antivirus systems As per a report by Minerva Labs, fake installers of the Telegram app are being widely circulated on the Internet. "We found a large number of malicious installers delivering the same 'Purple Fox' rootkit version using the same attack chain. This threat actor was able to leave most parts of the attack under the radar by separating the attack into several small files, most of which had very low detection rates by AV engines, with the final stage leading to Purple Fox rootkit infection,” the researcher said.
