Millions of Telegram Users’ Data Exposed on Darknet
Telegram’s built-in contact import feature was exploited to leak the personal data of millions of users onto the darknet.
Telegram, a major privacy-focused messaging app, has suffered a data leak that exposed some personal data of its users on the darknet.
A database containing the personal data of millions of Telegram users has been posted on a darknet forum. The issue was first reported by Russian-language tech publication Kod.ru on Tuesday.
According to the report, the database contains phone numbers and unique Telegram user IDs. It remains unclear exactly how many users' data was leaked while the database file is about 900 megabytes.
About 40% of entries in the database should be relevant
Telegram has reportedly acknowledged the existence of the leaked database to Kod.ru. The database was collected through exploiting Telegram’s built-in contacts import feature at registration, Telegram reportedly said.
Telegram noted that the data in the leaked database is mostly outdated. According to the report, 84% of data entries in the database were collected before mid-2019. As such, at least 60% of the database is outdated, Telegram declared in the report.
Additionally, 70% of leaked accounts came from Iran, while the remaining 30% were based in Russia.

Hacker breaches security firm in act of revenge
Hacker claims to have stolen more than 8,200 databases from a security firm's data leak monitoring service.
A hacker claims to have breached the backend servers belonging to a US cyber-security firm and stolen information from the company's "data leak detection" service.
The hacker says the stolen data includes more than 8,200 databases containing the information of billions of users that leaked from other companies during past security breaches.
The databases have been collected inside DataViper, a data leak monitoring service managed by Vinny Troia, the security researcher behind Night Lion Security, a US-based cyber-security firm.
