Telegram's SECURITY IS A DANGEROUS ILLUSION!!! Telegram's security is broken. Hacker logged into my account, no SMS alert. Then HE locked ME out by making fake attempts, triggering 'Too Many Attempts.' I have the SIM, he doesn't. But Telegram blocked ME for 24+ hours. Logged me out of trusted device without confirmation. Thousands have same issue. Support is useless. FIX THIS. Let SIM owners kill sessions via SMS. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!

Using this app is ok but scammers use it as well. They pose as famous K-pop idols and K drama idols. They ask for gift cards, bitcoin, also say that they have sent packages to you to which they expect you to pay for it coming from another country.
