@cybertailor@craba.cab thank you. I do understand Russian so I am also reading the original links you posted.
So, tl;dr is, as I understand it: third party Telegram client called Telega is now MitMing connections between Telega app and Telegram servers, by pushing them through their own infrastructure.

RE: https://floss.social/@foxy/116263870432293353 @rysiek@mstdn.social @foxy@floss.social has compared "Telega" with Telegram clones developed by the Iranian goverment in 2018. They were removed from Google Play but Telegram itself has refused to take action besides issuing a mere warning. https://iranhumanrights.org/2018/12/why-did-telegram-warn-users-that-iranian-versions-of-app-telegram-talaeii-and-hotgram-are-unsafe/
