š·š“š·šŗ Russian election meddling ānearly impossibleā to prove, says Romanian president
EU countries are at risk of Russian election meddling that can be ānearly impossibleā to prove, Romaniaās president has warned weeks after Bucharest cancelled its presidential vote over alleged foreign interference.
Klaus Iohannis said he would tell his EU counterparts at a summit on Thursday that foreign interference posed a threat to all European democracies.
āAll countries are exposed to this risk,ā Iohannis said on Wednesday evening, urging colleagues to develop joint āmeasures and procedures . . . to combat foreign interference and hybrid attacks from Russiaā.
CÄlin Georgescu, an ultranationalist who admires Russian President Vladimir Putin and is hostile towards the EU and Nato, topped the first round of the presidential vote on November 24 after benefiting from what Romanian authorities said was an illegal social media campaign orchestrated by Moscow.
Iohannis pointed to how Georgescuās posts on TikTok were boosted by āaccounts from Russiaā, and highlighted āco-ordinated cyber attacks on servers used to count the votesā. Such actions, he said, ācannot be carried out by individual actors or by a group or a party. They are so broad and complex that only state actors can do that . . . And here it was Russia.ā
He explained that Russiaās involvement was very hard to prove, because āthey hide perfectly in cyber spaceā, using servers in many different locations around the world. āDonāt imagine that these attacks are signed āfrom the East, with loveā.ā

On Telegramās website, it says that Pavel Durov āsupports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)ās input is technological.ā Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands.

The SC urges the public to refer to the SCās I nvestor Alert List before investing. The list contains details of unauthorised websites, investment products, companies and individuals. Members of the public who suspect that they have been approached by unauthorised firms or individuals offering schemes that promise unrealistic returns Recently, Durav wrote on his Telegram channel that users' right to privacy, in light of the war in Ukraine, is "sacred, now more than ever." Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isnāt as vast as WhatsAppās, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but itās nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care.
