Telegram and Russian Cybersecurity

telegram founder AAL dor was arrested in France ostensibly because telegram allows seesam and organized crime to exist on their machines but this is actually a problem for Russia it's 8:24 in the morning right now and if you're in the US Army you've probably gotten a bunch of messages on the signal app hey formation time was changed hey the uniform was changed the US Army essentially runs on Signal now the days of getting a spare set of keys and putting them in a spare hat and putting the Hat on your desk and then going and running errands or going off to take a Naple people go where's s Beth well he must be around here someplace his hat and keys are still here those days are over and cell phones pretty much ruin them because you can always be reached well for the Russian army telegram is their Signal app and while it's not officially endorsed by Russia the telegram app has been used for everything from fundraising to calling in artillery so the arrest of pav durv is actually a major cyber security issue for Russia because if pav takes some kind of plea deal that could open up telegram to French inspectors so if you're in the military be very careful about what you're putting on encrypted apps
