Open-source Telegram threat-detection platform seeks community feedback
A developer released a free, open-source tool that automatically scans public Telegram channels and groups for threat signals — things like hacker activity, leaked data, and malicious links. It combines OSINT techniques with threat intelligence to flag risks. The project is in early stages and the author is asking for feedback.
Telegram is one of the world's most popular messaging apps, but its public channels and groups are also frequently used to share stolen data, coordinate attacks, and spread phishing links. This platform monitors those public spaces and automatically categorizes suspicious content so security researchers or corporate security teams can react faster.
The tool is fully open-source, meaning anyone can download, inspect, and modify it for free. While it is a useful niche security project, it has limited direct relevance to building AI agents or reducing AI costs — the primary lens for this radar.
