Quote:Researchers have discovered a way for users on Telegram for Mac to keep specific self-destructing messages forever or view them without the sender ever knowing.
 
Telegram offers an optional 'Secret Chat' mode that increases the privacy of chats by enabling a variety of additional features.
 
When you start a Secret Chat with another Telegram user, the connection will become end-to-end encrypted, and all messages, attachments, and media will be set to automatically self-destruct and be removed from all devices after a certain period.
 
However, new bugs discovered by Reegun Richard Jayapaul, Trustwave SpiderLabs' Lead Threat Architect, allow Telegram for Mac users to save self-destructing messages and attachments forever.
