New the story of the attempt of hacking accounts Telegram independent journalists

This time under attack was the accounts of the five Russian journalists. Victims of hacking have been correctly entered the code from the SMS, but the attacker did not know the password, and saved accounts from hacking. How the attackers gained access to the authorization code remains a mystery. It could be SMS forwarding, or copy SIM card.

Presumably hacking attempts may be associated with conflict around the square, which had planned to build a temple in Yekaterinburg, and which was covered by journalists.

We will remind that the similar case with the opposition leaders previously happened in 2006. At the time the hacking was carried out using MTS operator.

Be sure to turn on two-factor authentication. Only she can save your account from hacking.

In beta-version Telegram for Android began to work with animated stickers in the new format (.tgs).

JSON files of animated stickers should be gzip-compressed, and then renamed to .tgs, otherwise they won't work. Renaming .json to .tgs won't work either.
