We apologize for every unsent message in this hour. We strive to make our platform more reliable. We are proud that despite some attempts to hinder our work (for example,DDoS attack from China in June), every year the Telegram becomes less prone to such problems."

On official platform translation of the messenger there were lines responsible for the color of the individual elements of the theme: the background and the background of the messages.

Andrey Lugovoy, a lawmaker and member of the State Duma’s Security and Anti-Corruption Commission, has said in an interview with Duma TV that he uses Telegram and recommends it to everyone.
It should be noted that it is Lugovoy that petitioned to recognize Yandex.News, a popular Russian news aggregator, as a mass-media outlet. Pavel Durov then reacted to this by inviting developers from Yandex to develop a news aggregator in-house for Telegram, and recently launched a contest to develop data clustering tools for news articles.
Andrey Lugovoy has regularly advocated for legislation to control the internet. Before Telegram was blocked in Russia, he also stated that intelligence agencies should have access to users’ private communications in messaging apps.

The "Telegram has been hacked" hype train isn't stopping.
Group-IB, a company specializing in cyber attack prevention, issued a press release about a variety of incidents of illegal access to Telegram accounts on Android and iOS devices, all of which happened on different mobile carriers.
In all cases, the victims' accounts were accessed via SMS.
In other words, once attackers get ahold of a SIM-card, they have access to all messengers, social networks, email accounts, miscellaneous services, and mobile banking apps on that SIM-card where the only authentication method is SMS.
These "hacking" attempts aren't novel either, happening in 2016 and even in 2019.
If you want to defend yourself and your account from hacking, enable Two-step verification in the "Privacy and Security" tab of Telegram's settings.
For more information about two-step verification, read our article about Telegram's security measures.
