Subverting Telegram’s End-to-End Encryption | IACR
｢ Our attack exploits MTProto2.0’s degree of freedom in choosing the random padding length and padding value. Accordingly, we strongly recommend that Telegram should revise MTProto2.0’s padding methodology. In particular, we show that a minor change in the padding description of MTProto2.0 makes it subversion-resistant in most of the practical scenarios ｣

In case you missed it, the fediverse is under attack by a Pro-Russian Propaganda Network. You can learn more about it in the blog post from @iftas below.
Here are two things everyone can do to help combat this:
1. If you see an account posting or spamming Telegram links, report it. Many of the accounts are impersonating news outlets — check verification status, the account's follower count, or the outlet's website to confirm if the account is real or fake.
2. Donate to your local mods if you can, or at least give them a big virtual hug and say thanks. They've been working tirelessly around the clock to combat this and deserve our gratitude and support.
Stay safe out there, friends.
#Telegram seems to be down in France. The app cannot connect and their website is inaccessible except through Tor.
What an announcement from #Telegram owner Pawel Durov! To provide just a few critical notes, he
- makes believe he is just a commoner, and not the billionaire owner of one of the largest message, media and metadata *cleartext* databases on earth
- skips over Global Warming
- refers to "fathers and forefathers" of the Internet ... apparently never heard of Radia Perlman, Margaret Hamilton or Ada Lovelace?
- conveniently excludes Russia and its authoritarian politics from his critique
etc.

Coordinated Pro-Russian Propaganda Network Targeting ActivityPub and ATProto Services
> Since 15 September, #IFTAS has been tracking a coordinated network of accounts operating across #Mastodon.
> These accounts are engaged in a high-volume #propaganda campaign, promoting pro-Russian narratives and linking to #Telegram channels associated with known state-aligned #disinformation operations.
> We became aware of a related investigation by the #Antibot4Navalny research team that observed these accounts bridging to #Bluesky, and we have since collaborated to enhance our investigations and share our findings.
> Their public post provides further context.

These outrageous atrocities must end now.

Whereas I've previously Tooted "Use #Signal", I'll get a bit more drastic now, and say "Don't use #Telegram
Great article by @rysiek https://rys.io/en/179.html
Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot
A space for Bonfire maintainers and contributors to communicate
