Analyst notes

Telegram Bot RAT (provisional). Telegram Bot RAT (provisional) is a heavily obfuscated Android RAT that uses a Telegram bot as its entire command-and-control channel. The operator drives the device over Telegram with a rich command set (/shell, /sendsms, /getsms, /getcontacts, /getcalllogs, /getlocation, /cam, /backcam, /microphone, /inflate overlay injection, /hideicon, /uninstall and more) implemented across an Accessibility, overlay and SMS service stack (CallBotService, MyAccessibilityService, NotificationListener, HeadlessSmsSendService). All strings, including the C2 (https://api.telegram.org/bot/) and the operator chat_id, are hidden behind a reused obfuscator where plaintext = XOR(base64-decode(s), key “UTF-8”). Package, class and service names are randomised per build. Tracked samples form a single-operator campaign around Telegram bot ID 8737455264 (two rotated token secrets) beaconing to chat_id 7687499928, repackaged under many lures (fake system updates, Chrome, Viber, Google services, games). Family label provisional. Indicators: https://api.telegram.org/bot8737455264:AAGg3F8FKuk-HTClr_xX-lGdMkNQ3VJemP0/.
