Everybody saw this coming! A privacy breaching telegram vulnerability!

sounds like it was non "secure" chat groups, right? regular telegram chats can also be compromised in theory, where as the "secure" ones are actual device to device only.

@JoshBent True, but this is the kind of thing that should be possible, if you give the option of privacy, I'd expect you to respect it, not to leak it out.

@chabad360 shit happens when you only emulate privacy features in an other non private group and especially with sync of all your contacts automatically (which imho is vile).

@JoshBent who cares, if I want my identity in this group to be hidden, (i.e. I specifically choose that "nobody" in said group should know that's it's me) then my choice should be respected.

I just hope that telegram fixes it and doesn't pull the "it's not a bug, ita a feature" thing.
