Mac Malware Can Hijack Telegram, Target Crypto Wallets

A newly reported threat affecting Mac computers can take over Telegram accounts and go after digital currency wallets. It may let criminals read messages, steal account access, and take money stored in wallet apps.


Who is at risk

Mac users who use Telegram or keep digital currency wallets on their computer are most at risk.

What to watch for

Watch for unexpected logins, messages you did not send, Telegram acting strangely, or wallet balances and transactions you do not recognize.

What to do

Update your Mac and apps right away, sign out of Telegram on devices you do not recognize, turn on extra login protection, and move any digital funds to a safer account if you suspect trouble.
