I was not able to tell from the article if any telegram user is vulnerable. Can they encrypt my hard drive by sending a message to my telegram account (using desktop client)? Does it require some interaction or authentication by user to get access?
I would love to learn more, but I'm not a specialist in this field.
- _maya_ 10y agoThis article does not describe a vulnerability in Telegram. It only describes how a trojan could use the API to send messages( Which is what the API is designed to do)
- banku_brougham 10y agoOK, so a package can be delivered via telegram just as in email for instance. The attacker still has to gain execution access via social engineering or some form of priviledge escalation to actually encrypt a victim's drive.
