Russian celebrity journalist Ksenia Sobchak says hackers accessed Telegram channels via email breach

Russian journalist Ksenia Sobchak reported a breach of her Telegram channels through a compromised email account and disputed the authenticity of published correspondence screenshots with political figures. The incident follows unauthorized access to her accounts and the subsequent circulation of disputed communications.

Why it matters: Practitioners managing high-profile accounts should review email security controls and Telegram session management, as account compromise via email remains a common pivot point to messaging platforms used by public figures.
