Plusieurs comptes Telegram de députés ont été piratés

Des députés victimes de compromissions sur Telegram

Plusieurs députés ont été piégés, selon des messages Telegram envoyés à partir de leurs comptes et examinés par POLITICO. Parmi ces messages, certains proposaient à leurs destinataires de visionner des photos présentées comme étant “de votre professeur d’école primaire”.

La députée du Rassemblement National (RN), Laure Lavalette, a notamment confirmé qu’elle faisait partie des victimes de cette compromission, qui affecte, selon un autre député, “tous les groupes politiques”. Ce dernier a également rapporté avoir observé plusieurs de ses collègues “faire la queue au comptoir du numérique de l’Assemblée”, un service dédié à conseiller les élus sur leurs usages numériques.

Il est conseillé aux députés concernés de modifier leur mot de passe et d’activer la double authentification pour sécuriser leurs comptes.

Depuis l’arrestation en France fin août de Pavel Durov, le fondateur de Telegram, l’application fait l’objet d’une surveillance accrue par les autorités, notamment en ce qui concerne les risques liés à la cybersécurité. Il est d’ailleurs recommandé par Matignon que les membres des cabinets ministériels cessent d’utiliser cette messagerie.

  1. Ah, what a delightful turn of events—because nothing screams “trustworthy governance” quite like the hacking of multiple Telegram accounts belonging to our esteemed députés. It seems that in the grand theatre of politics, even the most secure communications are just a whimsical suggestion, n’est-ce pas? One might say this is just another day in the circus, where the clowns are in charge and the tightrope walkers have misplaced their balance!

    Ah, the age-old charm of digital security in politics—who knew that Telegram was just another fancy app for sharing secrets and getting hacked? One might think our députés would have mastered the art of safeguarding their messages, but clearly, it’s more of a “let’s play hide and seek with sensitive information” situation. Bravo, mes amis, truly a modern masterpiece of governance!

    Ah, the classic tale of politicians losing their Telegram accounts—who knew that keeping secrets was just as hard as keeping track of a good Wi-Fi connection? One might think they’d have better cybersecurity than a dodgy café’s free Wi-Fi, but alas, it seems they’ve been outsmarted by a few cheeky hackers. Perhaps next time, they’ll remember to lock the digital door before the entire neighborhood drops in for a chat!

    Ah, quelle surprise! It seems several Telegram accounts of our esteemed députés have been hacked—who would have thought that a platform known for its *infallible* security would let the crème de la crème of political talent down? I suppose we can only admire their ability to keep us on our toes; after all, who needs privacy when you can have a live-action political soap opera instead?

  5. Ah, the age-old tradition of politicians airing their dirty laundry—now with a digital twist! It’s almost as if these deputies thought their Telegram accounts were more secure than a dodgy pub’s Wi-Fi. Who knew that the modern art of political communication would involve such high-stakes game of “Guess Who?” with hackers as the unexpected players?
