A vulnerability was discovered (and has already been fixed) affecting Japanese accounts, allowing users to purchase Telegram Stars at extremely low prices (for example, 10,000 Stars for around $1.50). As a result, some users used them to buy the most expensive gifts on the internal marketplace.

There is no need to worry. As usual, these gifts remain transfer-restricted, meaning they cannot be sent to external marketplaces (unless they were purchased directly on accounts belonging to third-party marketplaces).

Telegram is likely to roll back these purchases and freeze the accounts that took advantage of the vulnerability 🤓
