The last time I read about Telegram people on HN were upset about it's security competition or something like that. IIRC, the gist of it was akin to this: T: "Our security system is so secure that we'll give you a prize if you manage to break in through the front door" HN: "But real criminals won't necessarily use the front door. What about other potential points of entry?" T: "We won't confirm or deny the existence of any other point of entry, and to be clear, the competition is strictly about the security that our front door provides" Is this still the case?
