Imagine you have a secret code that opens a special lock. Now, what if someone sneaky found a way to steal that code every time you used it? That’s kind of what’s been happening with some smartphones over the last couple of years.

There’s a huge group—more than 2,600!—of automated spies called ‘bots’ hanging out on the Telegram messaging app. They’ve been secretly listening in and snatching one-time passwords and other important info right out of people’s phones. These one-time passwords are like those special codes we just talked about. You get them when you’re trying to log into something important, like your email or bank account. They’re supposed to keep your stuff safe, but these bots have learned how to grab them.

This sneaky operation has been going on for over two years and has been a real headache for lots of people. The bots are like little digital thieves that can swipe your passwords without you even knowing. And because they’re on Telegram, a place where people chat and share information, it’s been tough for any grown-ups to notice them.

Now, imagine if your phone was a little fortress. You’d want the best guards to make sure no thieves could get in, right? That’s where the experts come in. There are people who spend their time figuring out how to protect your phone-fortress from these digital robbers.
