Comment on Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot
rysiek@szmer.info 4 days agoThere were reports (claims I suppose) that the fsb were using telegram to organise the stochastic gig job sabotage across Europe
No no, reports: www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/…/ar-AA1xshqO
Does what has been found here shed any more light on that?
Not really/not directly, I would say. What you are describing is FSB using Telegram for recruitment. That does not require network-level observability and surveillance. That’s a different “feature”, so to speak.

It’s not that I don’t believe them, but anything coming from spooks has to be looked at a little sideways.
Thanks for the reply. I just couldn’t figure out how they had enough intelligence to find all these telegram groups, maybe that’s easier for a nation state than I thought.

It’s trivial for a nation state, they have lists of these groups. These groups are promoted in other groups and other channels and other forums and eventually reach somebody who will make a note of them.
