📊 IDEA | Secondary Pinned messages. It would be cool if we'd be able to pin a secondary message from @vote & @like bots. Necessary for those groups with permanent pinned rules!

Researchers hack Telegram accounts through SS7 protocol

White Hackers from Positive Technologies shown how to exploit SS7 protocol to login into Telegram accounts by intercepting SMS messages.

In order to avoid this, we strongly recommend turning on two-step verification for Telegram.

PS: They’re attacking the SS7 vulnerability, this is not a Telegram problem.

ℹ️ As you might know, there are some spammers scamming blocked users, asking them to forward messages to 10 groups in order to get unblocked. They are supplanting Telegram by saying "Telegram Team".

👎 And we don't like that kind of scams, so today, we want to ask you to report this channels:

▶️ @anti_report_ir
▶️ @username
▶️ https://telegram.me/joinchat/DemJDj9WYw4feHeni575TA

‼️ Never trust this kind of messages, Telegram will never ask you to forward messages to get unblocked.

BTW, if you know how to forward a "massage" please send one to us 😎

✳️ APPLE | BLOCKING ✳️

🚫 Today @SaveVideoBot has been blocked on Apple devices due to Apple’s claims of copyright infringement.

This is not the first bot blocked by Apple’s claims. On December 2015 Apple forced Telegram to block VK music bot

As we wrote on December, there is a simple hack to avoid this blocking:

1⃣ Add the blocked bot to a group.
2⃣ Talk with him like a normal bot.
3⃣ Profit 😎
