My issue isnt about losing some random chat message due to sniffing packets along the way. Which doesn't seem too difficult I might add on Telegram. Their security is fairly low, but ok, compared to skype its massively better. I'm worried mostly about direct attacks on my computer, which happen time to time I may add. On a positive note, its been a few months since the last intrusion attempt
*no bad karma from that statement please*
And yes, there is some stuff on this computer that is worth getting targeted for. When I join telegram I'm putting myself out there in the open, same could be said about talking on this forum tho. But I dont expect wulven employees to take advantage of the fact they have my ip. Iv been doing a lot of research on Telegram security and it's far from safe.
But as Demchi said, in the mean while I should just contact the tournament directors on other possibilities other than telegram to inform the game results and so forth. Since I dont expect to see a ingame build chat-system anytime soon. Telegram is just one of those programs that everyone uses now because its easy to use, until it leaks badly. Same has happened on all of the highly popular IM / room systems and same happened on things such as java and flash. No one gave a shit about their security problems until shit hit the fan. I wasen't one of them
On the note of shielding myself in case telegram can't protect my privacy, i haven't made progress due to the fact I haven't had any time to look into it seriously.
