Telegram hack! Watch out!

Linking the Article here, https://cybernews.com/security/telegram-zero-click-vuln...

But TL:DR Hackers can take over your device via the stickers, I plan to uninstall Telegram for the time being, as i don't want to risk such a thing even if it happening to me isn't likely, and i know many on the site use this app aswell, so i figured i'd give a heads up! Maybe its not actually that scary but i'd rather play it safe then sorry for abit

As for potential Commissioners, I know i use telegram for discussion on that but obviously that'll no longer be the case until further notice. I Plan to make a Form for commission Inquiry but Regular DM's on sites i'm most active on are good too (IB, FA, Twitter, etc.)

Stay safe!

Are we at risk if we've sent/been sent Stickers?

I'm not tech-savvy enough to know if its even legit, but i think the hacker can just send a sticker and it does something and you're caught, scary.

Thank you so much for the heads up 🙏

From what I see, it's still safe on Windows PC?

Oh i assumed neither was safe but maybe, I myself am playing it extra safe and just wanted to clear up why i may not be able to be contacted for awhile

Yeah, there's a lot of panic posting because there always is, but it's just hallucinated nonsense. It's not in the wild, Telegram is aware and likely have already patched it. All that "could be in stickers or text!" is just made up whole-cloth.

Either way, I'd still like to know when it's safe to log back in

Yeah, basically that.  I see no issue taking it seriously like even if it ends up being BS like oh no i just reinstall and it's fine?
