New Web-Based Credit Card Stealer Uses Telegram Messenger to Exfiltrate Data

Magecart groups use Telegram to send stolen payment details from compromised websites back to attackers. The method of exfiltrating the data is done via an instant message sent to a private Telegram channel using an encoded bot ID in the skimmer code. The TTP was first publicly documented by security researcher @AffableKraut in a Twitter thread last week using data from Dutch cybersecurity firm Sansec. The advantage of using Telegram is that threat actors no longer have to bother with setting up separate command-and-control infrastructure to transmit the collected information.
