Is Telegram really that secure Watch out for these things!

1. Welcome To Telegram Blast Is Telegram really that secure? Watch out for these things! Although most conversations on Telegram go smoothly, people with bad intentions use the app — as is the case with most instant messaging platforms. Here's what you should know about Telegram security and how to avoid scams. Is Telegram safe? Telegram is, at its core, a safe platform to use. Reasons include the included Telegram bulk message sender encryption for 'one-to-one' calls and the ability to self-destruct messages in secret conversations. When you send messages, Telegram also uses encrypted tunnels for additional protection against external threats.

2. Although it collects more data than Signal, the company says it only keeps data for as long as necessary. Moreover, for EEA and UK users, data is stored in data centers in the Netherlands. Other features that make Telegram safe to use include two- factor authentication and passcode / Face ID verification. Although two-way encryption works for one-to-one calls, you'll need to enable Secret Chats on Telegram to use it in your messages too, as the feature isn't turned on by default. This

3. differs from other messaging apps, such as WhatsApp and Signal, which always use end-to-end encryption by default. Neither Telegram's MTProto encryption has gone uncriticized, Makeuseof warns . Are there any risky Telegram features to consider? Despite Telegram's security features, its MTProto encryption protocol has received a number of criticisms. For example, Royal Holloway University in Great Britain conducted research in 2021, in which it concluded that 'an attacker on the network can change the order of messages coming from the client to the server'. The Royal Holloway researchers also said it had been shown 'that an attacker could launch a 'man-in-the-middle' attack in the message path between client and server', and it was not noted that Telegram had 'confirmed the existence of the problem and implemented' some solutions to make such an attack difficult perform.

4. You should also consider the risks associated with Telegram's P2PL program. For example, the company mentions that OTP recipients can potentially see your phone number when they receive your messages, which could lead to people you don't want them having it. Furthermore, Telegram states that it is not responsible for 'harassment', 'inconvenience' or other bad scenarios that could

5. happen if someone gets hold of your number. Fortunately, you are not automatically added to this program unless you opt-in. Another security issue you should be aware of is Telegram's 'People Nearby' feature. While this can be useful for people in your area, it means that those you don't want to discover your location could become aware of it. Fortunately, you can turn off the 'People Nearby' item on Telegram. What data does Telegram collect?

Here's how you can stop it

6. Although Telegram has several privacy and security features, you should still remember that the app collects information about you. Moreover, it collects more information than Signal. For example, it states in its privacy policy that it collects phone numbers and messages, photos, videos and documents from cloud chats . The company also mentions that cloud chat content is encrypted. Telegram may share your IP address with the police if you're suspected of terrorism, but as of April 2024, the company says that hasn't happened. Bots will also receive messages you send and can potentially get your IP address if you click on a link, but Telegram says it does not maintain bots or bot developers other than its own . Despite the data it collects, Telegram does not use your data for ads. But if you don't want it to use your information at all, you can delete your account. You can also set your account to automatically delete if you don't use the app for a long time. Common ways scammers use Telegram However, fraud such as identity theft and impersonation can occur on Telegram. Phishing links are one of the oldest Internet scams, and Telegram is not immune to these problems either.

7. Scammers will usually send you a link and try to get you to click on it, and they can disguise these phishing links in several ways, such as product links, account registration links, and payment links. The messages may also look similar to scam and phishing emails. Impersonation fraud Scammers can choose someone you know. For example, they can pretend to be your friend and claim that they are in trouble. Telegram scammers can also impersonate governments, law enforcement, and so on. Sometimes they will try to start a conversation before asking you to send them money. But in other cases, they will be more direct and ask you for cash up front. While you should do everything you can to avoid being scammed, there are many things you must do if you become a victim. Telegram bots Telegram allows third parties to create bots, and the company states in its privacy policy that it does not maintain bots that are not its own. Unfortunately, some criminals have taken

8. advantage of this to create scam bots to generate fake ads, automate messaging with victims, and more. Although not all bots on Telegram are dangerous, the malicious ones can extract a lot of money from your account (sometimes with your permission, sometimes without it). For example, Group-IB reported in 2023 that criminals used Classiscam to create robots that defrauded users of more than $60 million between the first half of 2021 and the first half of 2023.

9. How to protect yourself from fraud on Telegram? Generally speaking, you can protect yourself from Telegram scams with a few simple steps. For example, you can leave groups and block scammers. Think twice when you read suspicious messages on Telegram You can avoid a lot of scams by doing a simple assessment before replying to someone, especially if you don't know them. Scammers may also contact you and try to convince you to join a get-rich-quick scheme. For the most part, treat every message with at least a little skepticism and remember that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Fraudsters are often people you don't know, but this rule also applies to messages from friends, acquaintances and family members. Check for signs that a Telegram group is fake

10. It's also a good idea to check for signs that the group you've been added to is legitimate. Red flags include hundreds if not thousands of members, grammatical errors, as well as admins asking you for sensitive information. Block potential scammers on Telegram Even if you leave the group, scammers can always add you. So it is best to block all numbers that you suspect are trying to extract money from you. If you don't know how to block someone, don't worry - the procedure is simple: First, select the user you want to block in the Telegram application.
