Shock horror! Telegram messaging app proves insecure yet again!

Re: NSAgram

Maybe . . . or maybe this has just patched a hole the NSA knew about and were using themselves.

In the past, Amber Rudd and her ilk have named Telegram and Whatsapp as two applications that use end to end encryption that are allowing horrible murderers/paedophiles/terrorists/tax evaders/[insert bogeyman] to hide their traffic.

They never mention, for example, Signal.

Now what if the reason these apps are named is to encourage the bogeymen to use them instead of stronger apps?

What if Kaspersky have found one of the NSA routes in?

Sweet revenge for the ban, and maybe one less way to be snooped on.

Still prefer Signal though.
