TikTok, one of the largest social media platforms in the world, has been the subject of discussion with a strong claim recently. In many forms of hackers, it was claimed that my social media platform was hacked, the server source code was published and user data was leaked. However, TikTok made a statement on the subject and denied the allegations.
Instagram fined 405 million euros
The leaked source code is not affiliated with TikTok
After the allegations increased, TikTok stated that the cyber security team was investigating and that the leaked source code was not related to TikTok servers. In addition, a hacker group claimed to have accessed the data of TikTok users, but web security consultant Troy Hunt stated that the allegedly leaked data was already public and the data was not due to the leak.
Last week, Microsoft stated that there was a serious vulnerability in TikTok’s Android application. However, this vulnerability was found in February 2022 and was quickly fixed by the TikTok team. It seems that some hacker groups, who took advantage of this news, wanted to draw attention.
