Comment on Telegram says it has 'about 30 engineers'; security experts say that's a red flag

They do explain though that given how below average their headcount is, it means they’re likely understaffed, overworked, and have zero capacity to respond to intrusion attempts.

They seem to have 0 clue what they are “explaining “ though. I don’t know if those engineers are overworked or how (in)competent they are, I don’t even use telegram. But they apparently do have other non-engineering people on staff and content moderation and dealing with legal issues aren’t the job of an engineering team.
