Footage of the Icon's release after the trial in Paris
French and UAE intelligence agencies hacked Telegram founder Pavel Durov's iPhone in 2017, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.
The joint spy operation code-named “Purple Music” reportedly stemmed from concerns about the Islamic State’s use of Telegram, a private messaging app, for recruitment and plotting attacks — and came years before Durov’s surprise arrest in Paris over the weekend.
France had been pursuing a “long-term effort” to “compromise Telegram,” WSJ cited an unnamed former French intelligence official as saying, though they did not comment on the hacking of Durov’s phone.
It was not clear from WSJ’s reporting whether French President Emmanuel Macron was aware of the hack and whether the spies still had backdoor access to Durov’s phone.
The newspaper also said there was no indication that the hacking of Durov’s phone played a role in his detention on Saturday.
Politico reported Tuesday that Macron was an early adopter of Telegram while French authorities were frustrated by the app because of its reluctance to cooperate.

🧮 How much Telegram earns — latest statistics
Revenue in 2023 was $342.5 million, and in 2022 - $228 million. It turns out that it has grown by 50%. At the same time, Telegram is unprofitable. In 2023, the operating loss was $108 million, which is much better than 2022, when the operating loss was $201 million. Most of the costs go to development and user support. And over the year, this amount has hardly changed — $394.4 million in 2022 and $397 million in 2023.
Now the most interesting thing is how Telegram earns money:
🔵 Integrated wallet — $130 million
🔵 Premium subscriptions — $94 million ($15.5 million in 2022)
🔵 Advertising — $70.5 million ($39.2 million in 2022)
🔵 Premium access to the advertising platform — $30 million ($81.6 million in 2022-m)
🔵 Sale of collectibles (nicknames, phone numbers, and so on) — $17.6 million ($91.7 million in 2022).
As the FT notes, about 40% of Telegram's revenue comes from the crypt. At the same time, it can be noted that revenues from the sale of nicknames, etc., have fallen quite significantly. Didn't the topic fly? But the revenue from subscriptions increased sixfold. And the revenue from the integrated wallet is, as I understand it, how much The Open Network Foundation pays Telegram for the wallet to be integrated into the messenger interface.
And about assets. According to the reports, Telegram has assets of $958 million ($762 million in 2022). It is interesting here that digital assets (tokens, etc.) have increased 4 times — by almost $400 million, that is, 42% of everything. But the cache is much smaller — $170 million ($349 million in 2022).
How will Telegram buy back $2.3 billion worth of bonds? So far, apparently, it will not be possible to do this at their own expense.
