A Secure Chat App’s Encryption Is So Bad It Is ‘Meaningless’

404 Media is a credible tech investigation outlet known for security reporting, and this article cites multiple unnamed security researchers who identified specific, serious flaws in TeleGuard's encryption implementation—uploading private keys to servers and enabling trivial decryption. The reporting appears factually grounded in technical findings, though the lack of named researchers and no visible comment from TeleGuard limits transparency; the framing is measured despite the severity of the vulnerability, contrasting TeleGuard's marketing claims against the researchers' findings. Readers should note that while the technical criticisms appear substantive, the unnamed sourcing means independent verification of the researchers' conclusions isn't immediately possible, and TeleGuard's response (if any) is absent.
