Pavel Durov's Telegram account disappeared — what happened?

Pavel Durov, as the founder of the Telegram messenger, is constantly in the spotlight not only in the tech world but also in the media. This week, his personal Telegram account suddenly disappeared, causing quite a stir among users.

Attempts to access the @monk and @crow handles, believed to be associated with Durov, failed. This raised concerns that it was more than just a technical glitch — possibly a serious security issue. The lack of official information only fueled curiosity.

Some speculate that the account might have been hacked — allegedly, an attacker guessed the access code and submitted a deletion request. It’s also possible that phishing attempts were hidden behind numerous spam messages sent to Durov’s account. However, others believe it may have been a simple technical error, since such incidents are extremely rare on a highly secured platform like Telegram.

A few hours later, the account was active again. However, it remains unclear how it was restored, who recovered it, and whether there was indeed a hacking incident. Pavel Durov has not commented on the matter, which only increased speculation among users.
