“I want my MONEY MEXICO,” a user of the Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters Telegram channel, which is a combination of a series of other hacking group names associated with the Com, posted on Thursday. The message was referencing a claim from the DHS that Mexican cartels have begun offering thousands of dollars for doxing agents. The U.S. government has not provided any evidence for this claim.

404 Media reviewed multiple spreadsheets posted in the group’s Telegram channel. One contained the alleged personal information of 680 DHS officials; another contained data on more than 170 FBI email addresses and their owners; and the third contained the apparent personal information of more than 190 Department of Justice officials.

Wasnt it that group chats arent by default and personal can be?

Besides that, who holds the keys? If they are in the posession of telegram itself it's pretty moot, no?

Not sure what’s changed in the meantime, but per the article I linked, group chats aren’t, personal chats can be, but aren’t by default, and are buried in the Ui.

Also they use some non standard crypto for some reason.

Seems to align with my memory. Looks solid enough.

Good enough to me as a notification platform, not good for actual chats.

Personal chats cannot be in a lot of cases. Like on desktop, except for macOS for some stupid fucking reason.
