Walmart-exclusive router and others sold on Amazon & eBay contain hidden backdoors to control device
CyberNews researchers have discovered that Chinese-made wifi routers have secret backdoors which allow an attacker to not only remotely control the routers, but also any devices connected to it.
Backdoors are a means for an authorized or unauthorized person to gain access to a closed system – in this case, a router – by bypassing the standard security measures and take control, which is known as root access.
These Chinese-made low-cost routers, named as Jetstream, Wavlink and Ematic, usually are sold at Walmart, Amazon, and eBay.
CyberNews has also found evidence that an attacker has attempted to add the devices to a Mirai botnet, a malware which “infects devices connected to a network, turns them into remotely controlled bots as part of a botnet, and uses them in large-scale attacks.” It’s even possible that the router can steal your passwords on your devices no matter how many times you change them.

Today marks one of the most important product updates in the history of Telegram – Voice Chats 🎙
With Voice Chats, every group on Telegram gets a synchronous dimension that runs in parallel with its text-based stream. They are best on Android with overlays which are visible on top of other apps, but also look great on iOS with the sticky push-to-talk button and interactive animated waves. On Desktop, you can assign any shortcut to speak in Voice Chats while using other apps.
Check out the demos in the blog and make sure to update Telegram to the latest version:
https://telegram.org/blog/voice-chats
P. S. Minor fixes may be required in the iOS app for slicker animations in large voice chats. We’ll be able to push them to the AppStore in 4 days when the responsible team at Apple returns from holidays.

❗️The bitcoin/crypto community needs to have a discussion about Jack Dorsey and Twitter & their open censorship of dissenting opinions. This stands blatantly against what bitcoin stands for, censorship resistance. We encourage all our members to create or at least reserve their username on a good twitter alternative gab.com which uses mastoden, please pass this message on! Twitter wont change so we must reevaluate where we reside and stand against censorship.

Telegram doesn't rely on Amazon or any other third-party cloud service. We have built our own secure cloud infrastructure, distributed across the globe. It took us a few years to create the technology to instantly sync encrypted data between our datacenters and to encrypt local storage in each of them in a way that would make breaking into any data-center and seizing servers useless. The encryption keys used to secure the Telegram Cloud are split in pieces and never stored in the same place as the information they protect.
As a result, our approach is more advanced and secure than what Amazon or any of these general purpose cloud services can offer. And since we run our own infrastructure, providers like Amazon can not block us.
Besides, we have no illusions about Amazon in particular. When Russia banned Telegram in 2018 (more about it here https://t.me/durov/80) we set up independent proxy-servers on Amazon's AWS to allow our Russian users to freely communicate on Telegram. Amazon was pretty quick to deny us access to their services, and I was told it was the position of Jeff Bezos. Back then Amazon managers told us they had to do it to defend their business, but as a result they also defended censorship. Other providers such as Digital Ocean were much more helpful when it came to setting up proxy servers to defend freedoms.

For 7 days Russia has been trying to ban Telegram on its territory – with no luck so far. I’m thrilled we were able to survive under the most aggressive attempt of internet censorship in Russian history with almost 18 million IP addresses blocked.
