#Telegram and #Durov are once again in the media, so I translated my May piece about the service to English:
Telegram is neither "secure" nor "encrypted"
https://rys.io/en/171.html
Calling Telegram "secure" or "encrypted" is misleading, and is journalistic malpractice.
Telegram itself seems to mislead about it on purpose.
Telegram's encryption protocol is suspicious and transmits cleartext device identifiers with every message.
They have been called out for it many times, and refuse to change.
@rysiek so Tg is perfect for OSINT isn't it?
@guelfoalexander by whom, to what purpose?
@rysiek by law enforcement in order to infiltrate into illegal groups and haunt them IRL and furthermore politicians' and other political entities' groups to grasp tactics and discover strategies, or do I get this wrong?
@rysiek seems its no use anymore, goups are nearly empty, if it goes on like this, Pavel will be soon released for not committing the crime LOL
@guelfoalexander wait are you saying that people stopped using Telegram, at least for now? As in, that groups you are in on there became silent?
@rysiek oh no, I am not in such groups, I am not so daring. I am easily shocked, so I do not even look for them. but people I know that infiltrate such groups, tell me there is not only silence, but they were kicked off from some major ones that do not even exist any more. "they've shit in their hands" as we say in Italy. lets hope this helps in some way to eradicate such plague. but I think they'll find other means
