Seems like I can browse my filesystem (including my /boot directory with the currently installed kernels and initrds) though, how would that sandbox work?

It's surprising that anti-virus software and code scanning tools haven't made improvements to prevent users from downloading Trojan droppers/hooks on PC

I saw Mediazona's report confirming Telegram's backend has FSB linked ties. Even if there's no proof of
access, it's not worth the risk. Utopia Messenger has no servers, just users running the network.

Don't ask to ask, just ask. If you had asked the actual question about OpenJDK (which is platform-agnostic, a core tenet of Java itself), I may not have dismissed it before and may not have dismissed it now either.

What's weird is that Telegram usually don't allow someone to end other sessions when logging in on another device, until a certain amount of hours or has passed.
My contact has no idea how or when his account was hacked, and he said he never clicked any links or typed any confirmation codes. So, maybe there is more to how this is spreading

Which client are you currently using, and where did you get it from? Also, perhaps it could be worth bringing this issue to the Telegram Talk groups? Most on-topic would be @TelegramAndroidTalk, but I personally find @TelegramDesktopTalk to be both more welcoming to a variety of issues and populated by more experienced people. While none of them are Telegram official, several of the people in it are (unaffiliated) developers.

Gaming on Linux is the answer from a security/safety standpoint to me. It's snowflake security against Trojans because a linux system could be built several different ways. Permissions on a Linux system could prove difficult for obtaining valuable data from that host. Wine uses sandbox filesystems and wont give you access to their Firefox profile or whatever the hacker would be searching for 🤷‍♀

Only the one from the website was letting me have SMS verification message.

I think the Play store one is more annoying with that.

Thank you
My contact is using Telegram for Android, the official app. And the current situation is like this:
He was logged out
His account sent the same malicious message to all of his contacts
He's locked out, he can't login because there is no sms option, and he obviously can't get the code that's being sent to an unknown session probably opened by the hacker.
He can't delete his account to put an end to the harm because the code can only be recieved through the app, no sms no call options.
He keeps receiving calls from his contacts asking him why he sent them those messages

Sorry there was no announcement, it was something I got from Gemini when searching on Google. And it was just based on someone else's post.
But the my . telegram . org displays between brackets that sms is not available
