Futurebeat Discord, Telegram i inne komunikatory zakazane w rosyjskiej budżetówce

"co ciekawe, restrykcje objęły też posiadającego rosyjskie korzenie Telegrama (założyli go bracia Durow, znani ze stworzenia portalu VKontakte). Być może władzom Rosji nie podoba się wysoki poziom zabezpieczeń w tej aplikacji."
Możecie przestać powtarzać głupoty o tym, jaka to ta aplikacja nie jest bezpieczna? Ja wiem, że na swojej stronie wypisują, że wszystko jest zaszyfrowane, zabezpieczone i cholera wie co jeszcze. Tyle, że szyfrowanie e2e zastosowano wyłącznie w rozmowach 1:1 w trybie sekretna rozmowa (a bezpieczeństwo zastosowanego protokołu i tak jest kwestionowane przez ekspertów), a wszelkie grupy i kanały są chronione w transporcie zwykłym TLS-em (czyli tak samo jak wejście choćby na GOL-a):
"Telegram does not provide end-to-end encryption of group chats, and it is disabled by default for two person chats. Anyone with admin access to a Telegram server can read all of your messages."

"we performed a detailed security analysis of the encryption offered by the popular Telegram messaging platform. As a result of our analysis, we found several cryptographic weaknesses in the protocol, from technically trivial and easy to exploit to more advanced and of theoretical interest."

"Telegram has a lot of compelling features, but in terms of privacy and data collection, there is no worse choice. "

"1. Chats are not end-to-end encrypted by default
2. Group chats are not end-to-end encrypted
3. Full chat histories are stored in the cloud

"A group of researchers from London have found critical vulnerabilities in popular messaging app Telegram, which is used by over 500 million users across the world. The researchers comprising those from Royal Holloway, University of London, analysed the encryption protocols used by Telegram and highlighted the vulnerabilities in its cloud chats."

"Telegram, however, claims it protects every user whether they use E2EE or not, saying that government data requests have to pass an especially high muster before it would comply and that it has never acceded to such request. Not so, a report claims."

"Complying with the August 30 ruling that held that courts in India can direct a messaging app to disclose the information of infringers, Telegram has disclosed the admin names, phone numbers and IP Addresses of the channels which are accused of unauthorised sharing of the study material"

I co najważniejsze, Rosja ma dostęp do komunikacji na Telegramie:
"Sarts hesitated to detail the basis for his doubts about the security of the platform, but he confirmed that his concerns apply to the reliability of the encryption, in addition to the disinformation risks. “The integrity of that platform is under the question, from my perspective," he said."

"a police officer asked whether she knew the real reason she’d been arrested. She guessed that it was for her “political activities.” He nodded and asked, “Do you know how we knew you were home?”

“How?”

She says the officer told her that investigators had been following along with her private Telegram chats as she wrote them. “There you were, sitting there, writing to your friends in the chat room,” she recalls him saying. He proceeded to dispassionately quote word for word several Telegram messages she had written from her bed. “‘They’re unlikely to bust it down,’” he recited.

“And so,” he said, “we knew that you were there.”"

"Ihor’s story is particularly amazing because it doesn’t just reveal that Russian forces are surveilling Telegram chats. It also gives us a good hint as to how."

A co do listy zabronionych programów, osobiście przypuszczam, że banują te, co do których mają pewność, że można je złamać, bo sami to robią. Na to wskazuje obecność na liście Telegrama i WhatsAppa, którego też najprawdopodobniej udało się Rosji w pewnym stopniu zinfiltrować. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/soldiers-told-to-use-signal-instead-of-whatsapp-for-security-6pxh9z5cx
