Telegram Android Flaw Sparks Bybit Security Warning for Crypto Users

Bybit has warned crypto users to update Telegram on Android after a messaging flaw allowed a single bot message to execute code on affected devices. Telegram said the vulnerability is now patched, but the exchange urged users to install the latest version as a precaution. The flaw matters because Telegram is widely used by crypto traders for wallet alerts, exchange notifications and community channels, so a messaging-level exploit could expose sensitive account activity. Neither Telegram nor Bybit disclosed how many users or devices were affected. Users should watch for follow-up advisories from exchanges and confirm their app version, while the incident keeps attention on security hygiene across widely used messaging platforms in crypto.
