New Telegram hack steals login codes via voicemail

  • —The attack took 5 minutes: calls began at 3:54 and the login was completed at 3:59
  • —The attacker requested a voice code and Telegram's robot read it into the voicemail
  • —The hacker sent /balance and /start commands to old wallet bots in the victim's chats
  • —The owner killed the session within minutes, but the attacker had already set his own 2FA password
Why it matters: The scheme needs no action from the victim beyond a voicemail and a weak PIN, putting crypto accounts tied to wallets at risk.
