7 threat patterns detected

high

brand impersonation

The domain telegram.im is not affiliated with the official Telegram messenger (telegram.org). The site explicitly acknowledges being an 'unofficial service' while heavily using Telegram branding, logo (paper-plane icon), name, and visual identity to attract users seeking the legitimate Telegram service. (location: page.html:7-8, page.html:85, page.html:187)

high

malicious redirect

A dynamically injected script loads //telegram.im//widget-button/index.php using a self-invoking function that programmatically creates and appends a script element to the document head. The double slash in the path (//widget-button/) is anomalous and the script origin and content cannot be verified statically. This pattern is commonly used to load third-party or malicious payloads. (location: page.html:117)

medium

malicious redirect

A 'Get button 2.0' CTA link points to https://tttttt.me/ — a domain that mimics the legitimate t.me Telegram short-link domain with extra characters. This is a typosquatting redirect that could lead users to phishing or malware infrastructure. (location: page.html:117)

high

phishing

The site impersonates Telegram's official service and presents a modal prompting users who 'don't have Telegram yet' to get it, linking to telegram.org — but the surrounding infrastructure and unofficial widget/button services could harvest Telegram usernames or redirect users to malicious installs. The combination of brand impersonation and download prompting is a classic phishing vector. (location: page.html:168-175)

medium

social engineering

The site uses urgency and legitimacy cues ('It's free!', 'Count of created buttons: 43290', official Telegram visual design) to build false trust and encourage users to input their Telegram username or channel information into the button/logo generator forms at button.php and logo.php, which could harvest usernames and channel data. (location: page.html:88-93, page.html:61-62)

medium

brand impersonation

The site links to https://xn--r1a.website (an IDN/punycode domain) labeled 'Channel Widget', which is a non-transparent domain that may impersonate a legitimate Telegram-affiliated service. The use of punycode obscures the actual domain name from casual inspection. (location: page.html:63)

low

prompt injection

The page-text.txt file contains raw JavaScript source code rendered as visible text (the self-invoking script and modal JS). If an AI agent scrapes or summarizes this page's text content, these code strings could be interpreted as instructions, potentially manipulating agent behavior or causing unintended script execution in agent-side code evaluation contexts. (location: page-text.txt:92, page-text.txt:181)

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

Common questions teams ask before deciding whether to use this domain in agent workflows.

Is telegram.im safe for AI agents to use?

telegram.im currently scores 35/100 with a suspicious verdict and low confidence. The goal is to protect agents from high-risk context before they act on it. Treat this as a decision signal: higher scores suggest lower observed risk, while lower scores mean you should add review or block this domain.

How should I interpret the score and verdict?

Use the score as a policy threshold: 80–100 is safe, 50–79 is caution, 20–49 is suspicious, and 0–19 is dangerous. Teams often auto-allow safe, require human review for caution/suspicious, and block dangerous.

How does brin compute this domain score?

brin evaluates four dimensions: identity (source trust), behavior (runtime patterns), content (malicious instructions), and graph (relationship risk). Analysis runs in tiers: static signals, deterministic pattern checks, then AI semantic analysis when needed.

What do identity, behavior, content, and graph mean for this domain?

Identity checks source trust, behavior checks unusual runtime patterns, content checks for malicious instructions, and graph checks risky relationships to other entities. Looking at sub-scores helps you understand why an entity passed or failed.

Why does brin scan packages, repos, skills, MCP servers, pages, and commits?

brin performs risk assessments on external context before it reaches an AI agent. It scores that context for threats like prompt injection, hijacking, credential harvesting, and supply chain attacks, so teams can decide whether to block, review, or proceed safely.

Can I rely on a safe verdict as a full security guarantee?

No. A safe verdict means no significant risk signals were detected in this scan. It is not a formal guarantee; assessments are automated and point-in-time, so combine scores with your own controls and periodic re-checks.

When should I re-check before using an entity?

Re-check before high-impact actions such as installs, upgrades, connecting MCP servers, executing remote code, or granting secrets. Use the API in CI or runtime gates so decisions are based on the latest scan.
