The emoji was reportedly approved by a Telegram employee by mistake.
The desktop version of popular messaging application Telegram reportedly contained an error that suggested money emojis when users clicked on the word"Jew."
The Telegram support team did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It was not immediately clear what language the application was in when the error was discovered. Telegram, a cloud-based messaging application that launched in 2013, now has an estimated 200 million monthly active users. It prides itself on privacy, speed and encryption—but has been accused in the past of offering a safe haven to cybercriminals, including those linked to terror groups.
He wrote: “Every time WhatsApp has to fix a critical vulnerability in their app, a new one seems to appear in its place. All of their security issues are conveniently suitable for surveillance, and look and work a lot like backdoors. Unlike Telegram, WhatsApp is not open source, so there’s no way for a security researcher to easily check whether there are backdoors in its code.
