This leak has intensified scrutiny of the platform, especially amid CEO Pavel Durov\u2019s recent legal challenges in France.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Reuters <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/cybersecurity\/hacker-uses-telegram-chatbots-leak-data-top-indian-insurer-star-health-2024-09-20\/?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">report<\/a><\/strong>, the cyberattack on Star Health, valued at over $4 billion, led to the theft of personal data, including names, phone numbers, addresses, tax information, and medical records. This information is now being offered for sale on Telegram, with chatbots even providing samples.<\/p>\n<p>The health insurer has alerted local authorities regarding the breach, highlighting the chatbot operated by \u201cxenZen,\u201d which boasts of its resilience against takedown efforts.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/will-there-be-other-rates-cuts-by-the-fed\/\" title=\"Will There be Other Rates Cuts by the Fed?\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/210312055434-03-jerome-powell-1201-super-tease-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Will There be Other Rates Cuts by the Fed?<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>This breach is not an isolated incident; the Indian government has previously investigated Telegram for its role in extortion and gambling activities. The latest data leak may prompt the government to consider a ban on the app, depending on the outcomes of ongoing investigations.<\/p>\n<p>The app\u2019s legal troubles have been exacerbated by Durov\u2019s recent arrest in France, which has raised alarms over Telegram\u2019s involvement in illicit activities. Although he has since been released, Durov remains under judicial supervision. This situation has led to increasing regulatory pressure on Telegram from various countries, including India, France, and South Korea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Telegram is
