I hope this person will get the full $200,000. I definitely don't think we can ever trust Telegram's strength again. They won't be paying him the full $200,000 even though he has rendered the Telegram to be weak. Major, major backfire for Telegram stakeholders.
- lososerg 13y agoThey gave him $100 000. And yet the flaw he pointed out doesn't help you read encrypted messages and has been already fixed/
- makomk 13y agoThe flaw he pointed out renders one of the main advertised features of Telegram - end-to-end encrypted chats that they can't eavesdrop on - broken to the point of total worthlessness. Telegram had the ability to undetectably MITM and spy on the supposedly secure communications, as did anyone who managed to compromise them. They'd have achieved exactly the same level of security by having no end-to-end encryption whatsoever and just promising that they wouldn't log or look at people's messages - this flaw is seriously that bad.
