If you also use the Telegram app, then there is big news for you. Cyber ​​​​security firm ESET has detected a major flaw in the Telegram Android app; availing of the fact that hackers can hack Telegram at any time. Apart from this, by taking advantage of this flaw, hackers can also send you harmful and damaging files.

The report says that the name of this bug is "EvilVideo" and with the help of this, dangerous files are being sent to people. It has a video of just 30 seconds. These bugged files are being shared in Telegram's channel, group, and private chat.
