Kaspersky Lab reports WebRAT trojan attacks via Telegram channels

Kaspersky Lab has recorded attempts to infect computers with the WebRAT (Salat Stealer) trojan when visiting certain Telegram channels. Specialists suggested that attackers may have exploited a vulnerability in the messenger's new HTML widgets.
For someone who holds or exchanges cryptocurrency, this means that clicking links in unfamiliar Telegram channels could lead to device infection.
