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.

However, in may 2018 Zharov said that it "easily" possible to contact in Telegram, so it is unclear where did another Zharov. Perhaps during this time he was deleted for inactivity, and now again checked in with the old number.
