Telegram founder warns of new AI-powered threat that can force apps like Instagram removed from Playstore;
Telegram founder Pavel Durov has warned app developers of an emerging cyber threat he calls takedown extortion, after Apple briefly removed Telegram from its App Store following an attack in which a user planted AI-modified illegal content inside a public group chat. Durov said the app was restored within hours but cautioned that no app hosting user content is safe from similar attacks.
