As of 1354hrs still can't access telegram.org ...

Have you been struggling with the Telegram app today? At first I thought it was just me .... connection broken between phone/PC since I moved around this weekend. After a while, I tried all. Uninstall and Re-install, Web Telegram. No joy.


I'm sure they'll get back up sooner or later. Telegram is being shown as a very much respected means of secure communications. Let's hope whatever is going on, if a cyber attack my professional opinion is:


  • Keep Calm and Steemit
  • Wait for more news
  • If a cyber attack, the experts will find out why and fix the 'hole' to make Telegram stronger than before ...

Checking on this website, downdetector, we can see a lot of activity globally

They are trying to block it in Russia and other parts of the world at the moment. You can try access the website using tor browser.
