Telegram accuses China of cyberattacks this week

Telegram accuses the Chinese government of having organized cyberattacks against the app this week, during massive citizen protests in Hong Kong. It would be a DDoS attack that would have been carried out against the platform. This is confirmed by the CEO of the messaging application, which has used its social networks to accuse the government of the Asian country.

Due to this, there would be some areas where the app might have malfunction. That has been said, although for now it does not seem that there have been failures in this regard.

Attacks from China

Protests in Hong Kong have been a topic of the week, over a new law the government wants to pass, which would make extraditing activists or people against the Chinese government regime much easier. So China would have a lot of power. Telegram is possibly an app that many people in Hong Kong use, because the Chinese government does not have access to it.

So the Chinese government may have certain interests, as this would be something that could also affect the protests. But for now the protests continue this week, as we have seen in the news.

The Chinese government has not responded to these allegations by the Telegram CEO. They probably won't, since they don't usually say anything in these types of cases. But these are serious accusations, which come at a sensitive time. We will see if there are problems or not with the operation of the app.
