Telegram передает ваш IP-адрес кому-либо из ваших контактов во время разговора. И исследователь создал инструмент, позволяющий легко воспользоваться этим.

...перебор!

Signal CEO recently explained what Signal does to protect its users from this, and how much it costs them: https://signal.org/blog/signal-is-expensive/

Use Signal, and if you do, buy a subscription. Don't leave it dependent on the good will of one billionaire.

This is kind of clickbait. A less manipulative headline would qualify that it leaks the IP to _the recipient_ of the call and that this is due to the VoIP protocol being _peer to peer_.

I won't argue that Signal is a more secure app, but Peer to Peer calling is not a security vulnerability. Many security focused people would consider peer to peer VoIP desirable. Especially since the alternative is the calls going through Telegram's servers

I don't even like telegram, but this article is just fearmongering for normies.

Anyone who actually cares about IP security is going through a VPN anyway. If you are giving your IP willy nilly to every web page and tracking link, a 'hacker' is the least of your worries. Google, governments, and corporations have your IP fully collated with all your web traffic and the hackers just get it from them.

The argument that a centralized switchboard is more secure than p2p is a joke.

Too bad that nothing is said about Session, Jami or Briar that are quite popular now, easy to use and pretty solid, even though they can be a bit buggy at times.

Encouraging people to use Signal is not acceptable in terms of privacy, precisely because of the cons that your article lists and what happened with Twilio. I don't get it.
