The low number of employees at the Telegram app has raised serious concerns among security experts.
Pavel Durov mentioned in a recent interview that only about 30 engineers work at Telegram and almost all tasks are carried out by these individuals. He noted that he is actively involved as a product manager at Telegram and personally monitors the performance of the employees closely.
Matthew Green, a cryptography expert from Johns Hopkins University, mentioned in an interview that the lack of end-to-end encryption on servers located in the United Arab Emirates and the presence of potential targets in this messaging app have turned it into a serious security threat for users.
