Heads up everyone, something strange is happening to Telegram that can VERY SERIOUSLY affect your security. At first I thought it was merely an isolated incident but when something too similar to be a coincidence happened to someone else, it seems now that there's a security breech in Telegram that directly affects users' security settings, including who sees your telephone number.
The first thing that happened was that I was able to find someone's account from a forwarded message even though they had that function disabled for their account. At first I didn't think much of it, after all we all make mistakes.
But then someone else's number randomly showed up for me as I was having a conversation with them. I asked them why they shared their contact information with me, and after some conversation they showed a screenshot very clearly showing that their number was set to be shown to nobody.
If you use a personal phone number for your Telegram account and value your personal security, get a burner phone or a VoIP number and switch to it ASAP!
