ESET Research Podcast: Neanderthals, Mammoths and Telekopye

In this episode, ESET researchers Radek Jizba and Jakub Souček talk about the dynamics within and between various Neanderthal groups, the techniques that this horde of scammers uses to find the best Mammoths, and especially about Neanderthals teaching each other how to wield the cybercriminal tool Telekopye effectively.

While this might seem like an odd topic for a podcast about cybersecurity, quite the contrary. Telekopye is the name of a highly automated malicious toolkit implemented as a Telegram bot, that cybercriminals use to deceive unsuspecting users on online marketplaces.
