This setup means that, unlike regular messages, these secret messages can only be accessed from the deviceβs that initiated and accepted the chat. Additionally, Telegram notes that secret chats leave no trace on the companyβs services and offer a self-destruct timer.

The campaign, which security firm Check Point has named Rampant Kitten, comprises two main components, one for Windows and the other for Android. Rampant Kittenβs objective is to steal Telegram messages, passwords, and two-factor authentication codes sent by SMS and then also take screenshots and record sounds within earshot of an infected phone, the researchers said in a post published on Friday.
