Attached: 1 image 404 Media reports that a bunch of cybercriminals are ditching Telegram in the wake of CEO Pavel Durov's arrest: https://www.404media.co/in-wake-of-durov-arrest-some-cybercriminals-ditch-telegram/ I've seen the same! The crew behind a one-time password stealing operation called Estate (I profiled earlier this year: https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/13/cyber-criminals-stealing-one-time-passcodes-sim-swap-raiding-bank-accounts/) wiped its channel and ditched Telegram, citing the messaging app's recent moderation changes that allows anyone to report private groups. "Telegram can't be trusted anymore," wrote the OTP bot crime crew.

Ignoring the context.

Don’t pirate over Telegram, it’s no longer safe in terms of privacy and legal safety.

Telegram was never safe. All anyone ever had was their word that some chats are end-to-end encrypted.

Show me the code where you found the evidence.

My point. We don’t have code so we have to trust them blindly.
