Is Telegram not secure?
2 comments

At a minimum, they've made a number of choices which go against (fairly widely considered) good cryptographic principles.

This in itself wouldn't even be that bad if they weren't then trying pretty hard to convince the general public that it's super secure with massively flawed stunts as explained here: https://moxie.org/blog/telegram-crypto-challenge/

No, it's not.
not entirely true... its authentication can be subverted allowing impersonation.

but its a lot more secure than some....
