CYBERATTACKS ON TELEGRAM AND THE MITIGATION OF THE ISSUE
Keywords:
xAbstract
The surge in the use of the Internet throughout the world, along with bringing numerous benefits to people, has started posing threats to users’ data, especially their money. This research aims to pay particular attention to the most common cyberthreats on the increasingly more popular social media platform Telegram (Singh, 2024). While Telegram's use of end-to-end encryption provides users with strong protection against information leaks, this same feature also makes it more difficult to identify and prevent online threats, leaving general people at risk of falling for these attacks. By examining well-known sources such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Springer, and IEEE, one can observe the relative scarcity of research on this specific topic. I, with my research paper, aim to alleviate this issue to a certain extent.
