Title: Telegram Messenger Software
Post by: Skhilled on May 30, 2015, 07:08:38 AM
This software and app is currently the hottest around for social networking...ahead of Facebook, Whatsapp and others! It works of iPhones/iPads, Android devices, and PC's, Mac's, etc...virtually all platforms.

But lately, there is a lot of debate of it's security:

Coupled with the fact that it is run by Russians, and lately a lot of things seemed to be getting hacked by them, I'm not so sure about it.  :dontknow:

I think for Encryption stuff Korea would be the best at cracking things, and Even China, But Russia Has Los Cabos $$,

But for me my only worries my personal stuff belongs to me, but I have nothing hide or anything they'd want, and the personal is being debated here at homeland. on how many time you scratch your Ba tut ti :)

Now days here you can even take your kid on air plane, God forbid the baby cries!

With Russian, I'd would worry more about the US dollar's roll in the world economy

It's not about WHO can crack it. It's about them owning it and claiming the encryption does one thing when it is not true and can be compromised. Their claims appear to be false. There is also complaints that people have been receiving lots of unwanted emails, etc.

And according to many news reports, Russia is having big money problems but still spending it like it's going out of style. The US has even tied up a lot of its money that are in our banks due to allegations of corruption...which has nothing to do with the software.
