Telegram took the world by storm when it was first released in
2013. The brainchild of the Durov brothers, the founders of
VKontakte (known as “Russia’s Facebook”), the cloud-based app soon
became a synonym for secure, end-to-end encrypted messages, and a
wide range of channels and user-friendly features. Telegram was an
immediate hit and grew exponentially. From only 100,000 active
daily users in October 2013, it reached 100 million in January 2016
and 500 million by the end of 2020: As of today, Telegram is
the fifth most popular messaging app in the world: Despite its
success and growth, recent events have begun to put into
doubt the reputation of Telegram as the go-to safe messaging app:
In June 2019, hackers were able to break into the Telegram accounts
of thousands of top Brazilian officials, including President
Bolsonaro In March 2020, Telegram mistakenly exposed the data of 42
million users (user account IDs, phone numbers, and names).
Telegram suffered a massive data leak in August 2020 that exposed
the personal data of over 500 million users. Cybercriminals were
able to take advantage of Telegram’s chat scripting tools to hack
bank account data. The cyber unit of the Chinese government claimed
in 2018 to be able to hack into Telegram. These events have led
millions of users to openly ask: is Telegram really that safe?
Telegram’s Weaknesses, Exposed Telegram has been designed in a way
that by default exposes its users to a variety of risks: Telegram
needs access to the user’s phone contacts for registration and
collects IP data (the user’s location). That means users can only
message people they know, while the stored contact info jeopardises
data security. Some end-to-end encryption options are offered using
the MTProto 2.0 protocol, but some messaging remains unencrypted.
Having a cloud-based architecture means all messaging histories are
stored on Telegram’s cloud – where it is vulnerable to being
hacked. With no other viable competing messaging solutions on the
horizon, the only truly safe alternative may come in the form of a
technology that is already revolutionising the global economy –
Blockchain. The Secretum Solution – The Start Of The Secure
Messaging Era In 2020, a team of crypto technology experts from
Lithuania began work on the ultimate Blockchain-powered app, with
the aim of creating the safest messaging protocol in the world –
Secretum. Secretum is the world’s first and only decentralised,
encrypted messaging app, built on the innovative Ethereum and
Solana Blockchains. It offers users an easy, intuitive, and direct
messaging platform, based on unique technological innovations: A
completely secure and anonymous sign up, only needing a crypto
wallet address. No need for names, IDs, or phone numbers (like
Telegram). Total user privacy, without compromise. No cloud
storage, no user moderation, and complete end-to-end encryption for
all messages between users – completely eliminating the risk of
hacks or data leaks. All messaging history and files are held on
anonymous, independent, and non-connected nodes, on the Secretum
network – which eliminates all points of failure and, as it grows
and expands its nodes, becomes increasingly secure. In addition to
its advantages as a messaging app, Secretum also revolutionises how
crypto assets are exchanged. Via a proprietary P2P function, all
fungible and non-fungible crypto assets can be traded P2P without
the need for an exchange – as easy as sending a message to a
friend. Thanks to Solana, the fastest Blockchain in the world,
Secretum fully takes advantage of low gas fees, high block speeds,
and minimal commissions. Secretum sets a new standard for global
messaging apps, making communications more secure, more reliable,
and more trustworthy than ever before. With its crypto trading
functions, it positions itself to ride the trend of rising global
crypto asset ownership and trading. Thanks to its technology and
functions, Secretum has the potential to become a globally known
and recognised brand, just like Telegram: only without its
limitations. Join the Secretum Private Sale: https://secretum.io/
