Zero-day vulnerability in Telegram
Cybercriminals exploited Telegram flaw to launch multipurpose attacks.
In October 2017, Kaspersky found a vulnerability in Telegram Desktop for Windows.
▶️ This vulnerability was fixed by Telegram Team on November 2017.
— Cases where it was actually exploited
1️⃣ The exploit was used to deliver mining software, allowing hackers to use the victim’s machine to mine cryptocurrency including “Monero, Zcash, Fantomcoin and others.
2️⃣ A backdoor was installed allowing cybercriminals to gain remote access to the victim’s computer after which it started to “operate in a silent mode,” allowing “the threat actor to remain unnoticed in the network and execute different commands, including the further installation of spyware tools.”
— Conclusion
It appears that only Russian cybercriminals were aware of this vulnerability, with all the exploitation cases that we detected occurring in Russia. Also, while conducting a detailed research of these attacks we discovered a lot of artifacts that pointed to involvement by Russian cybercriminals.
We don’t have exact information about how long and which versions of the Telegram products were affected by the vulnerability. What we do know is that its exploitation in Windows clients began in March 2017. We informed the Telegram developers of the problem, and the vulnerability no longer occurs in Telegram’s products.

Zero-day vulnerability in Telegram
In October 2017, we learned of a vulnerability in Telegram Messenger’s Windows client that was being exploited in the wild. It involves the use of a classic right-to-left override attack when a user sends files over the messenger service.
Malware was installed on your computer via this "Run dialog".
Remember not to open unknown files from untrusted sources.

▶️ Our two cents:
Well, this is not a real vulnerability on Telegram Desktop, no one can remotely take control of your computer or Telegram unless you open a malicius file.
This kind of vulnerability is based on social engineering.
In fact, it was a .js file hidden on a a .png file, this happened thanks to RTL characters.
Windows users must click on the Run dialog in order to install the malware.
So don't worry, unless you opened a malicius file, you have always been safe.

Telegram X was removed from the play store.
Probably it's some error from google and will be back soon.

Exclusive: Telegram is holding a secretive second pre-ICO sale
The company is raising even more cash for its controversial blockchain-powered network
You have to admire Pavel Durov’s audacity.
Over the past few months, the CEO of Telegram convinced 81 accredited investors, including Silicon Valley giants Sequoia Capital and Benchmark, to give him $850 million in a presale of his company’s cryptocurrency in advance of an initial coin offering, or ICO. Now he’s trying to raise even more money from accredited investors before the coin gets offered to the public in a secretive second presale.
This week, investors got an email explaining that Telegram is doing another private presale, four sources with knowledge of the deal told The Verge.
The exact amount to be raised is still being determined, according to one source, but two other sources said Telegram is estimating it will be around the same size as the first round, which would bring the total raised to over $1.6 billion before the ICO even opens up to the general public.

A report claims that Iran is spying on smartphones
The report, entitled “Iran: Cyber Repression; How the IRGC Uses Cyberwarfare to Preserve the Theocracy”, released that the Regime has created close to 100 spyware apps, including Mobogram, Telegram Farsi, Hotgram, Wispi, and Telegram Talayi, that resemble popular apps and spy on the unwitting Iranians who download them by mistake.
