Threat Score
A privacy vulnerability in Telegram's handling of t.me/proxy links can cause mobile clients to auto-connect to attacker-controlled MTProto proxies when a user taps a disguised link, allowing the proxy operator to log the user's real IP address; researchers demonstrated a PoC and Telegram says it will add warnings to proxy links while downplaying the issue.
