Iranian here, as programmer and software security hobbyist, I always warned my friends against telegram. Sadly the local news is government used that bug and clone 15M person chat record/contacts/public data and etc.
This is pretty huge, this can put many lives in danger, I know people who are gay and use telegram. If you are any kind of person who government does not agree with you , from now on , government has your personal communication record. For example when you applying for regular job(which 90% of jobs in Iran is related to government , because of state controlled economy)then you have absolute no chance, even if you are much better candidate than some stupid person who spend their lives defending government stupid ideas.
P.S. Replace all "government" with "regime". Government in Iran is actually good (in compare to regime) and Rouhani is our only hope. The problem is Revolutionary Guard.
- NotSammyHagar 10y agoDoes SSL access to hacker news protect your identity in Iran? And do you think encrypted messages with telegram with 2 factor auth protects people? I think not, since they just have to get the messages of the people you chat with, the weaker link is the other side.
