Dear words: why scammers hunt for rare Telegram usernames

The cost of unique usernames can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars

On October 14, Durov criticized the European Union's initiative to monitor correspondence on Telegram, saying it threatens the privacy of French users. According to him, criminals can circumvent control through other platforms, and messages from government officials and law enforcement agencies are excluded from monitoring by a separate law. He warned that ordinary citizens may face the danger of their personal messages and photos being hacked.
