Iranian hackers break into Telegram accounts
Dozens of Telegram accounts have been compromised by Iranian hackers and millions of Iranian users’ phone numbers have been leaked, Reuters reports.

Cyber experts tell the news outlet that the type of attacks carried out on Telegram users were similar to ones attributed to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps.
