    In recent years, cybercriminals are increasingly turning to technology blockchain and cryptocurrencies, to make quick profits.

    Consequently, experts have found that attackers are now actively using Echelon malware with Telegram’s auto-download feature, according to a researcher at the leading error-fighting platform for blockchain Immunefi.

    In particular, this malware is a form of programmed engineering code, which has many opportunities to compromise the data and privacy of a user’s computer or mobile device.

    Malware can be downloaded automatically

    Overall, this malware poses a huge risk to Telegram usersthat depend on the automatic download function built into the application. After receiving the file, the malware is automatically downloaded to the device without the user’s knowledge.

    After that, victims are not required to launch or close any applications; the virus will simply be able to access the computer and take screenshots.

    The malware file is called «Smokes night», and experts warned that people should be careful when dealing with this malware, as it can also obtain information about wallets that are not related to storing cryptocurrency. In addition, users are advised to disable the automatic download in your Telegram profile.

    Cryptocurrency theft is on the rise

    It is noteworthy that according to Atlas VPN, in the third quarter of 2021, hackers stole more than $ 1 billion worth of cryptocurrency. Overall, in the first three quarters of 2021, 146 hacker attacks and scams, which is 20% more than in the same period in 2020, when it was registered 122 hacker attacks.

    In particular, in the period from the first to the third quarter of 2021, Americans lost daily $ 3.5 million in cyberattacks related to investments amid the growing cryptocurrency sector.
