It seems that it is not possible to change or remove a Telegram API key, the only way to do that is to delete the account. I am mind blown by that bad level of security 🤦‍♂️

In collaboration with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), we identified what we conclude to be two distinct actors aligned with the People’s Republic of China. Our findings provide insight into the Chinese government’s practice of digital transnational repression and its shift to a system of state-sponsored attacks carried out by private contractors.
