While Telegram offers end-to-end encryption for secret chats, regular chats use client-server encryption, meaning messages are stored on Telegram’s servers and aren’t fully private.
Despite strong security features, Telegram’s partial encryption model has drawn criticism from privacy advocates compared to fully encrypted apps like Signal.
It remains unclear how Pansino obtained the group chat or whether she is responsible for leaking it.

Nevertheless, hours after sharing the post, Pansino stated on X: “I have reported what I found and my concerns to the authorities @FBI.
“Hopefully they will look into these MrBeast Telegram Company Chats Logs and other concerns.”
On the same day, the YouTuber, famous for her baking video, shared a video discussing details of the chat logs but still didn’t reveal how she came to be in possession of the messages.

MrBeast has an unlikely foe in Pansino, who has dedicated social media posts to criticizing the online sensation, Newsweek reported on Monday (October 28).
The 39-year-old has reportedly investigated accusations of unsafe work conditions during production on MrBeast’s upcoming Amazon Prime Video reality show Beast Games, as well as other allegations.
