Telegram Dismisses Claims of Encryption Breach

Telegram has refuted the Russian government's claims that its encryption has been compromised, asserting that the allegations are fabrications designed to justify banning Telegram and coercing users onto a state-controlled messaging service for mass surveillance and censorship.

Telegram has strongly denied accusations from the Russian government stating that its encryption system has been breached, claiming such allegations are unfounded.

The messaging app described the Russian government's claims as deliberate lies intended to ban Telegram and push citizens toward a state-operated messaging platform.

The allegations suggest motives of surveillance and censorship, Telegram asserted in a statement to Reuters, maintaining the integrity of its encryption.
