Researchers found a serious security flaw in the Telegram app for Android phones that hackers were using to trick people into downloading malicious software disguised as videos.
This sneaky attack, known as "EvilVideo," allowed attackers to send videos that, when clicked, would prompt users to install a harmful app.
The app would then secretly steal information from the user's phone, potentially leading to identity theft and other problems.
Telegram quickly fixed the vulnerability after being informed about it, so make sure you update the app to the latest version to stay safe.
