Be careful though - telegram is heavily compromised.

e.g. their backend just 2 days ago (and since at least start of the year) was replacing referral links to amex (and i bet many other banks etc) with custom referral codes from russian guys (so when I sent my friend my referral link - it showed another referral link in out chat history on both ends). and their security team says its all good.

so unless you are using it for useless info - better use something else.

Are you using any custom telegram client?

please provide a proof. if this is the case, then telegram is not to be trusted. but it needs to be proven. otherwise a lot of people trust their business and personal data to telegram.

Do you have a proof?

What even is this claim? Telegram is compromised? Some telegram bot/group got compromised?

Is there any proof of the global telegram issue related to amex links? Sounds like BS

Was this on a desktop? I'd think it's far more likely malware or a browser extension is hijacking your clipboard
