Telegram is turning into a hub for cyber criminals to conduct their nefarious business, owing to the company's signature encryption.There is definitely some form of irony present in the application's main selling feature also being responsible for a major flaw. Then again, some people would argue this to be a result of some form of karmic equivalent exchange. Either way, sucks for Telegram, considering the newfound success the social media message sharing platform has seen in recent years. Much of this success can be traced back to WhatsApp's infamous policy change that it tried to enforce onto users back in early 2021. The potential harm that such a change could inflict on to user date, combined with parent company Facebook's less than stellar track record, led to many users abandoning the platform as a whole. Where did all of these individuals go to, then? Fellow competing apps Signal and, of course, Telegram.A major reason that Signal and Telegram joined the party is because of their record for maintaining user security and privacy. With encryption on par or better than WhatsApp's, combined with absolutely no storage of messages, the platforms made their way towards a steady increase in both users and…

By Mike Bohn | September 19, 2021 12:31 am ET Phil Davis gave Yoel Romero a rude welcome to Bellator with a main event win on Saturday at Bellator 266. Davis (23-6 MMA, 10-3 BMMA), a former Bellator light heavyweight champion, showed he’s still very much relevant in the title picture when he scored a split decision win over Romero (13-6 MMA, 0-1 BMMA), who was making his anticipated promotional debut at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Davis’ victory over Romero at Bellator 266 Ariel Helwani Yoel Romero about to make his Bellator debut … in the same building where he made his UFC debut over 8* years ago.

The officer on special duty (OSD) to Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot, Lokesh Sharma, put in his papers late on Saturday night, hours after he shared tweets that seemed to be a not-so-indirect attack on the handling of the power-sharing tussle in the Punjab Congress by the grand old party’s central leadership.One of Sharma’s tweets written in Hindi when loosely translated meant “making the strong desperate and the weak proud...how to save the crops when the fence only eats away the field.” मजबूत को मजबूर, मामूली को मग़रूर किया जाए...बाड़ ही खेत को खाए, उस फसल को कौन बचाए !!— Lokesh Sharma (@_lokeshsharma) September 18, 2021 He also shared a quote of renowned humourist Kaka Hathrasi that meant “look at the fast-changing nature, see the changing particles. You remain stuck thinking of fate. Leave it, friend. Leave the ‘dufli’ (musical instrument), bring change in life. Set some standards as you rise above the tradition.” प्रकृति बदलती क्षण-क्षण देखो, बदल रहे अणु, कण-कण देखो।तुम निष्क्रिय से पड़े हुए हो, भाग्य वाद पर अड़े हुए हो।छोड़ो मित्र ! पुरानी डफली, जीवन में परिवर्तन लाओ।परंपरा से ऊंचे उठ कर, कुछ तो स्टैंडर्ड बनाओ।-काका हाथरसी— Lokesh Sharma (@_lokeshsharma) September 18, 2021 The social media…
