On Telegram, malicious actors are selling all the tools needed to run a phishing scam, allowing aspiring cybercriminals to get started for just $230, according to cybersecurity startup Guardio.
It’s not very convenient to use “safely” (for a grandma with nothing to hide, not for a usual person) even only for DMs, phone number requirement and channels and massive group chats and sponsored ads make it kinda dangerous.
Telegram is crap. It’s as “free” as WhatsApp, technically inferior, has unfounded pretense at being somehow connected to privacy, and its owners are no less malicious than Facebook.
Now for a targeted professional attack it doesn’t matter much what you use, they’ll likely still succeed.
I much prefer XMPP to Matrix, but if there’s a choice between Matrix and TG, it’ll be Matrix 100%.
