Russian zero-day broker Operation Zero is offering up to $4 million for Telegram exploits.
The company seeks up to $500K for one-click RCE, $1.5M for zero-click RCE, and $4M for a full-chain exploit.
Potential reasons for the high valuation of Telegram exploits include government and intelligence demand, strategic cyber warfare, and law enforcement and cybercrime control.
The ban of Telegram by Ukraine's National Coordination Centre for Cybersecurity has raised concerns about Russian intelligence accessing users' data.
