The thread on the hacking forum with the samples of alleged TikTok data has been deleted and the user banned for “lying about data breaches” https://t.co/9ZKkKvu8JT — Troy Hunt (@troyhunt) September 5, 2022A hacking group has alleged that it exposed popular video app TikTok’s user data with source code. But the company denied all allegations.TikTok recently published a public statement that confirmed how its team failed to find any evidence of a security breach. They appear to have taken up the data through a Chinese application called WeChat.As of now, we’re not aware of any reports that refuted claims that any of the data had stolen information. At the same time, WeChat is yet to respond to all the queries being directed its way in regards to the matter.This is not the first time we've heard about TikTok and WeChat coming under the radar. They’ve both been scrutinized for having links related to China.
