Zscaler ThreatLabZ discovered a repackaged fake Telegram Android app in Google Play (appearing as "Telegraph Chat", changing to "Telegeram" post-install) that functions as adware: it displays intrusive ads, contains server-delivered payloads that linked to additional apps (one later removed), and may serve as a vector to push more malicious apps. The report provides the package name (com.telegeram.anydev), file hash, screenshots of behavior, and recommends user caution when installing popular apps even from trusted stores.
