Hide ▲

A Telegram-linked Android payment-fraud campaign is actively coordinating access attempts and sharing intercepted login data, increasing the risk of account takeover and fraudulent transfers. The operation uses Digital Lutera with LSPosed and Android APIs to intercept SMS/2FA data, spoof device identities, and undermine SIM-binding. One observed channel contained more than 500 login-related messages, showing the technique is already in active use.

    Telegram-linked Android payment-fraud campaign

    Campaign Scope Update

    CloudSEK researchers identified an Android OS-level campaign that uses the LSPosed framework to manipulate the runtime environment, hijack legitimate mobile payment apps without modifying APKs, and bypass Google Play Protect. Linked to the Digital Lutera module, the technique abuses Android APIs to intercept SMS messages, spoof device identities, extract 2FA data, and undermine SIM-binding, while Telegram activity shows attackers coordinating access attempts and sharing intercepted login data.
