Are you still taking Ridiculous BuckTommy Prompts? How about: Tommy is a spy for Plankton from Spongebob who wants one of Bobby's recipes?
Omggggg 😂 I love it 😂
The Secret Chili Recipe
Freelance Spy Tommy Kinard was a man of many things. Of Action. Of Romance. Of Getting the Job Done.
But for the life of him, he was having the worst time trying to steal the secret chili recipe of one Bobby Nash. He had been tasked this mission almost two decades ago by his employer, a man who only went by the moniker "Plankton".
Well.
He wasn't really a man.
He was a plankton.
Tommy didn't know why Plankton the plankton wanted to know the secrets of a chili recipe. But hey, Plankton paid well and it wasn't as if Tommy didn't enjoy his deep undercover persona as a firefighter pilot.
Tommy hadn't gotten close enough to Nash to obtain the recipe. The man was a steel cage with none of his recipes written down. However, Tommy had found another angle.
Evan "Buck" Buckley.
Evan was cute. He was kind and smart and he had this smile that just made Tommy forget what day of the week it was. And while Tommy had, at first, tried to convince himself that he was only getting close to Evan for the job, well.
He couldn't pretend any longer.
He fell in love with his mark.
Maybe he had always loved his mark since the moment he saw the guy.
"I'm so sorry, Evan. It's all been a ruse. I started dating you to learn Bobby's secret recipe for chili," announced Tommy in the middle of he and Evan watching a nature documentary.
Evan.
Blinked.
Paused the documentary.
"So... do you not like me?" asked Evan.
"What? No. I love you."
Evan inched closer.
"Do you not want to date me anymore?"
"I really would like to keep dating you. But I was honeypotting you for information. It's not right."
"Cocoa powder," said Evan as he gave Tommy a little peck on the lips, "The secret is cocoa powder. Now, can we get back to watching the documentary?"
"Uh. Sure," said Tommy as Evan flopped his head into Tommy's lap.
Tommy combed his fingers through Evan's hair, thinking about that. Twenty years of work and he finally learned the secret. Just needed a pilot license, a chance encounter with a guy, and making said guy his boyfriend.
Huh.
Life was funny sometimes.

Oy...

Happy FFWF! What do you like life is like at home for the Blyle children? Is there certain traditions they participate in? Is there certain foods they eat each week? Etc.
— Blanche and Lyle's children are raised the same, not giving any favoritism to the first-born or lastborn.
— They were raised on a chateau that was gifted by her mother, Elise, in Southern England, near the seaside
—They often vacay to the south of France and Normandy, where Lyle and Blanche have their mama and papa time
—During Blanche's travels to study dragonology, her children are at Hogwarts, and Lyle takes the role of the main raiser with help of his sisters. Blanche visits as often as she can. She also left specific instructions and lists and recipes so he wouldn't be completely helpless. She corresponds with all of her children and sends them gifts and makes a visit every two months
—They eventually get their portrait of both oil and photograph done, and Richard is a bit of a handful, but Blanche ensures he behaves
—They are one of the best dressed families at Hogwarts due to both their wealth and status, but never dress too expensively
—They have a tradition of baking a Victoria sponge together and as they grow more confident on their baking skills, they try their hand at s'mores.
—Lyle, always working, is often stressed by work, and on Saturdays he and Blanche dismiss their staff and make mac n cheese for the children
—Each year, Blanche takes her daughter to a trip to Paris, where they have a girl's weekend. They have sleepovers, gossip of the men without being caught and try their palates to the newest food and beauty trends. Needless to say, Lyle was red and speechless when Blanche got nearly all of her body hair out “Christ, Blanche. Even your... honeypot is bare.” you can guess how he found out lol

But the most important reason may be that the figure of Joseph Mifsud, so central to the prosecution of Papadopoulos and to the investigation of Trump’s 2016 campaign, makes little sense in the stories laid out by Robert Mueller’s team or by the Democrats in Congress. Far from being a Russian cutout, as people like Congressman Adam Schiff and various U.S. news outlets have suggested, Mifsud seems to be a figure who was tied to high government officials in the west. So far, few of those associated with him have opened up public inquiries or otherwise retraced their steps, which you would expect if they felt they had been victims of Russian infiltration. The FBI spoke to Mifsud in early 2017 when he was in the United States and let him go, allegedly because Papadopoulos had misled them, but they don't seem to have gone hunting for him during the months that followed, even after the arrest and charging of Papadopoulos, nor do they seem to have alerted European allies. Mifsud continued to live and work in Europe as normal. Mifsud went into hiding shortly after the statement of offense against Papadopoulos was made public, in October 2017, but Italian media has since reported that Mifsud spent some of those months in a Rome apartment that was paid for by one of his erstwhile employers, Link Campus University, a small organization with ties to Italian intelligence. In short, with Mifsud, the rabbit holes are endless, and even the truth will be prove to be twisted.
To solve such mysteries, then, is why Barr and others are so interested in going to Rome and Australia. And, whether or not you trust Barr and team, there is reasonable cause for them to be taking their actions. If they’re expecting Papadopoulos’s narrative to bear fruit, however, they’re going to come up dry. I spent weeks trying to square Papadopoulos’s memories with various theories of the case, and I began to notice that those recollections kept changing or contradicting the available paper trail. Even the Trump campaign was on the receiving end of a number of false boasts from Papadopoulos, such as a claim of having met with the Russian ambassador to the United Kingdom, when no such thing had happened. Most important, I realized that there was very little basis for a linchpin of countless narratives concerning Papadopoulos: namely, that Mifsud had mentioned Russian hacking. It’s a claim that nearly everyone, including the Mueller team, has embraced, but the only person making it is Papadopoulos himself. Why would he make such a claim? As the lawyer and blogger Hans Mahncke has laid out in more detail, it may well have been a panicked attempt to deflect trouble growing out of still more untrue claims. (Papadopoulos did not respond to a request for comment.)
Unfortunately for Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani seems to embrace Papadopoulos’s version of the story, in which Alexander Downer and Joseph Mifsud were co-conspirators. Last spring, mentioning the case of Papadopoulos, Giuliani told Fox News’s Bret Baier, “If that’s not a counterintelligence frame-up, I will eat my hat.” And if that’s how Giuliani feels, then it is likely that he has persuaded Trump to feel the same way. That’s why Giuliani has been globetrotting on Trump’s behalf and, it seems, bullying people and making a fool of himself. In short, he appears to be as obsessed with a wrongheaded theory of the case as any Russiagater on MSNBC.
At the same time, those who view investigations of the origin of Russiagate as nothing more than partisan attempts to discredit the work of honorable civil servants may want to brace themselves for unsavory findings. Even looking only narrowly at one element of Russiagate, the case of Papadopoulos, we can see questionable behavior by his prosecutors, notwithstanding his guilt. Here is one small but revealing example. In the summer of 2016, Papadopoulos wrote to Trump campaign official Sam Clovis about some “requests from the U.K., Greek, Italian, and even Russian government for closed door workshops/consultations” at a London venue. (In reality, no such requests had been made, but that’s beside the point here.) Clovis wrote back, “I have too much to do that requires me to be in the states” and encouraged Papadopoulos and another foreign policy advisor to “make the trips, if it is feasible.” The prosecution edited this exchange in order to make it look much more sinister. They described it as the culmination of “several weeks of further communications regarding a potential ‘off the record’ meeting with Russian officials” and quoted Clovis as saying that Papadopoulos should “make the trip[], if it is feasible.” In other words, the original suggests a series of London-based workshops that might include Russians, while the prosecution’s version suggests a concerted effort to link up with Russian officials and taking a trip to make it happen. I was able to see the difference only because I had the original emails. This sort of elision, which ran throughout the case against Papadopoulos, gave me an unfavorable impression of the Mueller team.
More broadly, we all have a stake in finding out whether U.S. authorities proceeded by the book when they began to investigate the campaign of Donald Trump in 2016. The FBI had a FISA warrant on Trump advisor Carter Page that lasted for months and kept being renewed, yet we know it relied in part on the infamous “pee-tape” dossier that had been put together by someone who was paid by the Clinton campaign. That this dossier’s author, Christopher Steele was working with the wife of a Justice Department official connected to the investigation was, at the very least, a glaring conflict of interest. Returning to the case of Papadopoulos, a vague statement to Alexander Downer that, according to Downer, didn’t mention “dirt” or “email” but merely Papadopoulos’s belief that the Russians had “material that could be damaging” to Hillary Clinton hardly seems like an adequate justification for a major FBI investigation of a presidential campaign. As for the case of Ukraine, officials in that country were open in their opposition to Trump in 2016, and the Financial Times reported on a Ukrainian and MP and other “political actors in Kiev [who] say they will continue their efforts to prevent a candidate—who recently suggested Russia might keep Crimea, which it annexed two years ago—from reaching the summit of American political power.” It’s not as crazy as it looks that Trump, in light of Russiagate, wants to figure out what was going on back then.
Now, none of this is to give a pass to Donald Trump. He deserves to be investigated, and possibly impeached, for his behavior toward Ukraine over the past several months, and if you want to get a sense of how much power the president has to turn the screws on weaker parties, few recent stories have been better reported than a recent one from The Wall Street Journal showing how things looked from the Ukrainian side. Sending a henchman like Giuliani over to Kiev and dropping strong hints to Ukraine’s leaders of what you’re hoping to find is a recipe for lies and corruption.
But probing Trump’s misbehavior cannot be an underhanded instrument for shutting down investigations into what happened in 2016. Uncovering that part of the story may be unhelpful to the impeachment narrative in the coming months, but it is no less important than investigating this president. Trump represents the flouting of rules by one man, but the origins of Russiagate represent the potential flouting of rules by many people. If the FBI and the intelligence community can overstep their bounds in pursuit of a president many of us hate today, they can do so against a president we like tomorrow. So, no, Trump’s or Giuliani’s pet theories won’t bear fruit. No, there’s no DNC server in Ukraine, or whatever the hell Trump believes. No, Joe Biden didn’t try to fire a prosecutor for going after Biden’s son. No, George Papadopoulos isn’t the key to an international anti-Trump conspiracy. But the belief that Russiagate grew out of partisans overstepping their bounds—well, that’s still awaiting the jury. With or without Trump in office, we owe it to ourselves to figure out whether it’s true.
this is why it’s so tough to believe in either russiagate or the counternarrative that russiagate was a us intelligence honeypot intended to destroy trump. the people who are saying this shit are professional brown-nosers, bullshitters who get paid to slather on the praise until they manage to convince whoever’s in power to take on a business deal (and for that they get paid millions). the idea that these imbeciles could be co-conspirators on anything other than a dinner party is frankly absurd. the fact that the FBI will run roughshod over proper investigative procedure if it prejudges that someone is guilty is not in doubt because we see it happen to its much poorer victims all the time, so the notion that it might have done so here is not unfathomable.

History
Take this post as an overview of Lucas’ story so far. It might be more information than you’re looking for. For a quick introduction, see the “Introduction” post.
Background...
Lucas Rajan was born Tellin Wheeler, the son of a wealthy and successful family of merchants. His parents, ever eager to expand their family's influence and do right by their employees and legacy, were happy their youngest child grew up to be so handsome (or pretty in some estimations) and set about seeking beneficial wedding arrangements to improve the family's standing. Tellin — or Lucas, as we'll call him for simplicity — didn't mind terribly his lot in life. He enjoyed growing up wealthy, he enjoyed the thought that he was a prize and he enjoyed learning from his mother the skills of business, negotiation and the thrill of winning. There was always some nagging in his mind that he might be happier with his own hand holding the reigns of his life. He rather looked up to the stories of his family's founder, a renowned tactician and lancer from a far away land. But it was easier to respect than to emulate.
Things got sticky when his uncles on his father's side started hanging around. While his family was solidly connected with the Monetarists, his uncles secretly supported the Sultana, and their work in branches of the family's business that extended into workshops had them solidly in favor of better conditions for the people. These uncles dragged Lucas into a world of whispers, secrets and misdirection. To them, he was a pretty man who absorbed information quickly enough to be a useful spy, honeypot and paramour in Ul'dah's games of power. Lucas enjoyed learning the cons and grifts of his uncles, and his appreciation learned from his merchant mother for winning in a game of his cunning against another's translated all too well. But what he really took to was a secondary aspect to the games he played. Alchemy was often used to help him change his features, rescue wounded prisoners, drug guards or poison enemies. That was all well and good, but what Lucas really fell in love with was the science of it. Learning recipes became his first true passion, and understanding the craft became his first love.
It wasn’t until Lucas had just become an adult that he really came to understand the consequences of his behavior. He had learned many things due to his privilege, but realizing the pain his faked friendships, trysts and dalliances under the cover of false identities had caused others finally came full force. He hasn’t yet had the chance to face all who he wronged.
Lucas realized he’d never bothered to wonder how to be a good person. He thought he had good motives, but with what consequences? He’d never so much as looked at philosophy or reflected on himself. The tenants and ideals of his family’s founder suddenly seemed far more important.
And so he began to try and change himself, to live by a code he could make for himself, and save up money to travel and find a teacher so he could learn the lance, and its discipline.
Previously in Final Fantasy XIV…
Under his new false identity, Lucas Rajan, the young merchant’s son befriended a Sunseeker named P’ashara Pari. Though she was a traditional woman from the Basilisk tribe, the two became a good team. Lucas worked to earn money on the road, trading and improving his alchemy. P’ashara, a skilled huntress, shooter and tracker, kept Lucas alive while he began to stumble through his first lessons from teachers he met along the way. As his guard, the miqo’te earned her share of the profits. Lucas taught her street smarts and about the cultures he knew in the city states, she taught him how not to die in the wild and about her people, and protected him when rivals came his way.
Eventually the two became embroiled in their fair share of adventures, and even though Lucas was genuine in his interest to help the woman find a nunh at least half worthy, they became sometimes lovers.
Lucas found a few lancers willing to teach him, and even began to conduct experiments, sure he could use alchemy to manipulate aether in such a way as to mimic the famed jumping ability of dragoons. He fell in with a group of adventurers who offered to let him fight alongside them to continue his training, and even spar with him.
But when Lucas learned the help he was to be offered was his would-be mentor beating him within an inch of his life in a training spar, he went his own way again. He never shook off the pain of humiliation of being hurt so badly by someone he trusted even after he’d come so far.
For the next few years he was on the roads, honing what he could of his skills and seeing the world. Some may know of those adventures.

hehe
who’s messier? Paige, unfortunately. Artists are always messy, but once they gets a cleaning bug she can be neat as Minho
do they fight often? If an argument between the two gets out of hand Paige says “let’s settle this argument with Mortal Kombat” and Minho agrees. They’ve only argued maybe twice.
who’s the funnier drunk? Paige probably. Minho controls his alcohol well and Paige is a social drinker- one wine cooler and we’re done, but two wine coolers and they’re talking about electric forks and putting salt grains on spoons for shits and giggles and everything sounds stupid.
who’s uncomfortable with PDA and who loves it? Both hate pda don’t hold hands it makes you gay.
who texts more often? Minho texts a lot. Paige writes letters.
big spoon/little spoon? Minho wants to spoon Paige but Paige hates being touched, especially when they’re sleeping. They’d rather jetpack their tall princeling.
who made the 1st move? Minho, surprisingly. Paige didn’t hide their affections for Minho, but they were just affections, nothing more, did not want to act on them because rejection = instakill. When Minho reciprocated said feelings Paige freaked like any sensible shoujo manga protagonist would and it took two volumes for them to be like “okay my shortcomings compared to your flawlessness isn’t so bad so I guess we could date.”
any nicknames? Paige calls Minho “my sun and stars,” in Dothraki. It took Minho a good six months and three watches of Game of Thrones for him to realize that oh shit they’ve been calling me this all this time?!! And the boy heart-eyes at the thought. He calls them dearest and it takes all their willpower not to roll around on the floor and squeal.
the most embarrassing music on their phone? Minho has Top 40 on his phone and Paige has an amalgam of broadway hits, Asian pop, Bengali music and Techno music. Putting their music on shuffle during long road trips is a hoot. Minho can’t deal.
what’s “their song”? In their circle of friends Paige will insist “Amerikkaz Most Wanted” by Tupac and Snoop Dogg is their song, but truthfully it’s BoA’s “Romance”.
who reads more? Minho reads just as much as Paige, but Paige has the extensive book collection and always reads the longer, “difficult” books just for the hell of it.
who remembers anniversaries? They both do; Minho is sentimental and so is Paige (but they won’t admit it). Paige has a photographic memory and remembers everything.
who is better with kids? Minho; Paige is terrified of kids, but they like them for some reason so they are patient with them as they teach them languages and useless facts. (“hey did you know that kangaroos can’t jump backwards?”)
who tops/bottoms? Paige called bottom bunk (“but I gotta pee more at night!” Minho whines. “You get top bunk,” Paige growls, booting up Mortal Kombat X on the PS4)
what’s their favorite activity? Playing games together, traveling, playing soccer, swimming, having eating contests...
weirdest hobbies? Minho watches Ron Perlman montages on YouTube sometimes...
who would make a blanket fort? would the other help? Paige makes blanket forts (“I am a fearsome dragon and I am required a cave of my choosing.” “Paige there are no caves in Seoul.” “So this blanket fort will suffice, homie.”) Minho asks if he can come in and Paige cheerfully says yes you may, and thereby declares their dragon hoard as cute soccer boys named Minho.
who cooks? Paige. Minho can cook, but he’s busier than Paige and Paige is honestly better because if it were up to Minho it would be kimchi jjigae and ramyun mostly. Should Paige cook they don’t have the same recipe every week; sometimes they’ll do themed weeks. Just no Mexican (“but I like Mexican food!” Minho whines. “I’m sick of it, plus it gives you the Hershey squirts.” “Lies and slander!”)
how do they eat ice cream? what’s their favorite flavors? They put the ice cream in their mouth and they eat it…? Paige is allergic to ice cream and eats lime sorbet while Minho likes strawberry and vanilla.
who said “i love you” first? Believe it or not, Paige did. And Minho’s brain rebooted and he stumbled over the words as he said “hey I love you too champ.” and Paige’s brain is still short-circuiting to this day.
do they go on dates? what are they like? When Minho has free time and doesn’t want to play video games with Paige they go out to dinner, go to the aquarium, go book shopping to add to their burgeoning collection (“I just can’t help myself I need books!” Paige cries. “In a few short years we’re gonna be on Hoarders, aren’t we?”) They’re very quiet and don’t draw attention to themselves because there are fans about
Christmas traditions? They wear ugly Christmas sweaters and Paige speaks a lot of German, and they bake a lot of goodies from America that Minho hasn’t heard of.
do they go trick or treating? who stays home and hands out the candy? No one trick or treats in Seoul; kids don’t go wandering in the city like that, but they do go to costume parties. Paige brings in Halloween-themed treats and they engage in spooky tomfoolery with the other members of SHINee.
do they stargaze? Expand. Stargazing is difficult in Seoul, so when they go on their rare Jeju trip, they go to the most remote part of the island, where the only light is from the fishing boats. Paige didn’t major in astronomy and Minho isn’t familiar with constellations but they like to look up at the night sky and love the atmosphere. Almost always, Paige will start to sing the Discovery Channel’s “The World is Awesome” song and Minho always has to shut them up. Do they listen? Fuck no.
who’s the laziest? Paige! Shamelessly! Minho doesn’t complain because they pull their own weight and knows that their job requires that they do a lot and when they wants to do nothing, they will do nothing, Lord willing.
who complains more? Paige doesn’t like to complain; they internalizes their strife. Minho rarely complains.
who wakes up earlier? Paige naturally gets up at 6 am and hates it. If it were up to them they’d sleep in with Minho. Minho has to get up early for flights to other countries but he wants to sleep in with Paige.
who’s more protective? Minho is the feudal lord and Paige is the handmaiden.
who gets jealous easily? Minho. His middle name is Jealousy. Paige finds it amusing, but doesn’t purposefully get into situations where his jealousy may spike. Sometimes they call him “Eifersuchtig Honeypot” and he scowls at them.
how do they cuddle? when and where? They cuddle on the couch, under a snuggie, after a long day of dance practice and translation work and art and Minho is nursing a beer and Paige is watching Funhaus.
how did they meet? Christianmingles.com Paige was wandering around the restaurants by Konkuk and stumbled into a dumpling and ramyun shop. They were eating alone and Minho was there with Jinki and some friends from TV. Minho was lamenting about how he missed the food in America and how he would like to visit the other states (“I like Texas, it’s a shame I’m never there for more than 48 hours”) and Paige is like Texas? I’m from there! And them can’t help themselves and butts into the conversation, telling them about their family in Texas and all the pros and cons of America. Normally idols are tired and don’t want to engage in public, and Paige felt bad about that, but Minho and Jinki noticed that they didn’t act like a fan and didn’t invade their space like a fan, but as a person just casually overhearing their conversation. So they talk, and are happy that they know Korean. They both try to converse in English and Paige freaks and starts speaking in German (“I have no clue what you’re saying now????”) Jinki is flummoxed but Minho is intrigued and asks the ol�� “hey do you know kpop?” question and Paige deadpans “oh boy I do.” their dry and abrasive wit is enough to make Minho laugh and open up to them easily and offers to show them around Konkuk, since they are a teacher at the Konkuk middle school. And the rest is history.
what do they smell when they smell amorentia? The fuck is this.
what lockscreens do they have? Minho has a group selca of SHINee celebrating Paige’s birthday, and Paige has a photo of Minho napping and they put a bow on his head.
how many emojis do they use and which ones? Paige keeps forgetting that emojis are a thing and Minho uses emoticons like it’s 2011.
who throws ill-advised parties? Should Taemin visit Paige’s apartment for nefarious reasons he ropes them into throwing parties where it’s nothing but Achievement Hunter playing in the background and nonstop Cards Against Humanity and Million Dollars, But… and that they get to make snacks and regales the party in their wild stories of their travels. Also it devolves into a Minho roasting session. Paige is always down for it.
who sets the other’s ringtone to something loud and obnoxious behind their back? Minho because Paige never locks their phone. What he doesn’t know is that Paige always has their phone on vibrate. The joke backfires. (note: the phone is Ouran High School Host Club’s opening theme and when Paige finds out they’re pissed and go to put their phone on sound)
lick-claiming. who does it? is the other deterred? Minho, believe it or not. (“Choi we have kissed at least five times your cooties are now my cooties.” Paige takes the cookie, stares into Minho’s eyes, and bites into it with passion. Minho fumes)
who glitterizes everything? Paige! Loves glitter and would have it in every inch of the apartment if they could.
who is obsessed with HSM? Minho and Paige is like “love is dead”
who draws sharpie dicks on the other when they get blackout drunk? Minho was blackout drunk once and Paige didn’t put dicks on his face (“his face is perfect I’m not gonna mar it”) but they do take his phone and put the meatspin on all his phone tabs. Minho was displeased.
who uses chopsticks/can either of them use chopsticks? Both use chopsticks, but Paige is left-handed and holds chopsticks funny and Minho calls them out on it. (“How the fuck you expect me to eat these noodles, son?!”)
when they can’t sleep what do they do? Paige takes heavy amounts of melatonin to sleep, but it rarely works so they lie there talking about their desires to travel and what they’re gonna eat the next day.
what order do they wash themselves in the shower? They both wash anywhere and everywhere; showers are for cleaning you heathen.
who impulse buys? Paige, but mainly impulse buys food and snacks.
who’s clumsier? Paige is the Lad of Stubbed Toes and who the fuck put this banana peel here? Gotta step on it? Step on it? Why? You gotta.
what are their coffee orders? Minho likes Americano with a pump of vanilla syrup, Paige likes earl grey tea with inordinate amounts of sugar.
what apps do they have? Minho has the same apps as Paige except for Pinterest, Google Docs, Netflix, and Twitter. He has sports apps and an English vocabulary app for him to practice. Paige has translator apps and Google Docs.
what are their favorite TV shows? Both like watching old school anime and nature documentaries. Paige watches travel programs and Minho watches sports

Experts Question the Security of Telegram’s New Passport Service
Security experts have called the integrity of Telegram Passport into question. The identity scheme, which launched last week, provides a KYC service for ICO applicants, with personal documents protected by end-to-end encryption. Telegram’s decision to roll its own cryptography, however, has seen the communications giant come in for criticism.

Never Roll Your Own
Rolling one’s own crypto is regarded as a big no-no in the infosec industry, as it’s liable to introduce vulnerabilities; just ask IOTA, who learned the hard way that crafting a bespoke algorithm is a recipe for disaster. Jackson Palmer was one of the first to call Telegram out for the practice, shortly after news of Telegram Passport broke, tweeting “You might want to think twice before uploading your identity documents to a service who rolled their own crypto and don’t support E2E encryption by default.”
While Passport does have end-to-end encryption, it is reliant on Telegram’s proprietary algorithm to encrypt the data that’s uploaded – extremely valuable data such as passport and bank statement scans that are sure to form a honeypot for hackers. A new report from Virgil Security has exposed much of the inner workings of Telegram Passport, and based on what its team have turned up, things don’t look encouraging. While hacking the service would not be a formality, even for a sophisticated team, there are enough vulnerabilities to give a determined attacker a possible entry point.
The report concludes: “Cryptography’s most famous anonymous quote says “Don’t roll your own crypto!” Back in 2015, Telegram ran into similar criticism. In 2016, 15 million Telegram users’ phone numbers were revealed in Iran due to a user authentication flaw. Now it’s 2018 and with Telegram’s Passport, the quote has never been more true.”
If Your Telegram Data Is Accessed There Would Be No Way to Tell
One of the problems with Telegram’s system for encrypting and storing user data with Passport is that there is no digital signature used. This is commonly applied to software updates released by project teams, for example, allowing anyone installing it to make sure that the package they’re unbundling is genuine and has not been tampered with. As Virgil Security notes, “The security of the data you upload to Telegram’s Cloud overwhelmingly relies on the strength of your password since brute force attacks are easy with the hashing algorithm chosen. And the absence of digital signature allows your data to be modified without you or the recipient being able to tell.”
Telegram Passport may not be intrinsically flawed, but there are evidently ways in which it could be reinforced for the reassurance of its users, and to enhance Telegram’s own reputation. As news.Bitcoin.com noted when first reporting on the scheme, “some Telegram users will naturally be concerned about entrusting their most intimate details to the platform, even with the promise of end-to-end encryption.” CEO Pavel Durov is a man of few words publicly, having tweeted to his 1.45 million followers less than 2,000 times since joining Twitter a decade ago. If he wishes to fend off fears about the security of Telegram’s encryption methods, he’ll need to break that silence.
Do you think concerns about the security of Telegram Passport are justified? Let us know in the comments section below.

Facial Sheet Mask Review: Papa Recipe Bombee Ginseng Red Honey Oil Mask
Facial Sheet Mask Review: Papa Recipe Bombee Ginseng Red Honey Oil Mask. #redgingseng #oilmask #ecofriendlysheetmask
Papa Recipe Bombee Ginseng Red Honey Oil Mask
Wow, I did not like this sheet mask at all from Papa Recipe. This is the Bombee Ginseng Red Honey Oil Mask Pack.
All was well as usual as I opened the packaging. There is a cute drawing of a yellow honeypot on the front of the box. There are 10 sheet masks inside the box and again like the other (more…)
