Durov challenges hackers to hack his Telegram account

Pavel Durov publicly challenged hackers to try and break into his Telegram account. He also commented on the vulnerability found in the messenger's widgets for Android and Windows.

As the messenger founder stated, gaining access to a victim's device simply through an incoming message was impossible. Exploiting the vulnerability required independently launching a third-party service.

Durov claims that the issue has already been fully resolved on Telegram's server side.
