Who Moved My Intel?
Tracking Gift Card Fraudsters Across Telegram and Beyond
This briefing outlines a joint effort by Flashpoint and a leading retailer to address a significant lapse in collecting gift card fraud intelligence from Telegram. The investigation revealed that the drop in data was caused by threat actors migrating to over 70 new channels, likely due to operational security concerns following the arrest of Telegram’s CEO. By identifying and adding these new sources, the team successfully restored collection volumes, highlighting the importance of agile intelligence strategies and partnership in adapting to shifting criminal tactics.
