Many people who focus on information security, including myself, have long considered Telegram suspicious and untrustworthy. Now, based on findings published by the investigative journalism outlet IStories (original in Russian; English version by OCCRP available here), and my own analysis of packet captures from Telegram for Android and of Telegram’s protocol described below, I consider Telegram to be a indistinguishable from a surveillance honeypot.

A lot has gone wrong under Donald Trump, but at least we narrowly avoided the catastrophe of a female president. Don’t get me wrong, I liked Kamala Harris. But it’s hard to imagine how any woman would have managed the unrelenting cascade of crises that have descended the escalator this year.
Women don’t understand money, and that would have created a perfect storm, since presidents don’t understand money either. Presidents are tasked with mismanaging the economic world order by misapplying the dubious lessons they learned while floundering as unsuccessful businessmen. What if a woman had to navigate the constant economic whiplash brought on by her own ruinous financial policies—while on her period?

Dearest Beloved,
I received your missive of Thursday last with the greatest of gratitude, as I and my brave compatriots have five hours now awaited the orders to approach a moderately busy intersection in the shopping district of a mid-sized American city to confront a force of as many as eleven or twelve of the enemy, all cleverly disguised as “dishwashers,” “nannies,” and “landscapers.”
We are a rather ragtag bunch to be tasked with confronting such a formidable force, armed only with hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of tactical gear from late 2023 and weaponry that has been in service for a year before that.
I tell you with no small shame that we beseech the Lord daily to protect our high-capacity automatic rifles, rubber bullets, smoke bombs, tanks, helmets, Kevlar vests and night-vision goggles from the ravages of the possible but not very likely small stone or block of wood that could be hurled our way by a weeping child or hysterical mother as we pry their loved ones from their dastardly hands.
The skater dudes, grandmothers, and dog walkers forever taunt us, my love.

I verkligheten är bostadsmarknaden otryggare. Arbetsmarknaden är osäkrare. Välfärdsstaten har försvagats. Klimatet förändras snabbt. Samtidigt är de geopolitiska spänningarna större än under kalla kriget. Allt detta påverkar såväl prisbilden som våra allmänna livsvillkor. För att inte tala om våra barns framtid. Mot denna bakgrund behöver vi fråga oss om det är rimligt att det är […]
