TikTok denies recent claims it was breached, and source code and user data were stolen, telling BleepingComputer that data posted to a hacking forum is “completely unrelated” to the company.

On Friday, a hacking group known as ‘AgainstTheWest’ created a topic on a hacking forum claiming to have breached both TikTok and WeChat. The user shared screenshots of an alleged database belonging to the companies, which they say was accessed on an Alibaba cloud instance containing data for both TikTok and WeChat users.

The threat actor says this server holds 2.05 billion records in a massive 790GB database containing user data, platform statistics, software code, cookies, auth tokens, server info, and many more.

TikTok denies being hackedTikTok has told BleepingComputer that the claims of the company being hacked are false. Furthermore, the company said the source code shared on hacking forums isn’t part of its platform.

“This is an incorrect claim — our security team investigated this statement and determined that the code in question is completely unrelated to TikTok’s backend source code, which has never been merged with WeChat data.” – TikTok.

TikTok also told us that the leaked user data could not result from a direct scraping of its platform, as they have adequate security safeguards to prevent automated scripts from collecting user information.

BleepingComputer has also reached out to WeChat for a statement, but we have not yet received a response from them.

While WeChat and TikTok are both Chinese firms, they are not owned by the same parent company, with the former belonging to Tencent and the latter to ByteDance. Therefore, seeing them both in a single database indicates that it was not a direct breach on each platform.

Most likely, the unprotected database was created by a third-party data scraper or broker who scraped public data from both services and saved it into a single database.

The two companies are constantly in the spotlight of privacy investigations by national services, so finding such a rich cloud instance containing both companies’ data is raising suspicions.

Troy Hunt, the creator of the HaveIBeenPwned data breach notification service, confirmed in a Twitter thread that some of the data were valid. However, Hunt could not find anything that is not publicly available in TikTok, thus proving an internal systems breach.
This is so far pretty inconclusive; some data matches production info, albeit publicly accessible info. Some data is junk, but it could be non-production or test data. It's a bit of a mixed bag so far.

Similarly, “database hunter” Bob Diachenko has validated the leaked user data as real, but couldn’t provide any concrete conclusions about the origin of the data. https://www.bleepstatic.com/images/news/u/1220909/social%20media/bob-tweet.png If further analysis reveals that the data is legitimate, TikTok will be forced to take action to mitigate the leak’s effects even if it wasn’t breached. We have requested an additional comment from the platform on that front, but we haven’t received an answer.

How Common is Phone Hacking — and What Are the Common Warning Signs of a Hacked Phone?

Phone hacking can be defined as the process through which an unauthorized person accesses a phone, its data, or its communication. It can involve accessing phone conversations and gaining access to personal details on the phone.

There are different ways through which hackers can access a phone. Some of them include using rogue Wi-Fi networks, tracking software, and phishing attacks, among others. Phone hacking is popular especially because of the growing usage of mobile devices and the immense personal data that these devices carry.

You will find social media details, banking information, phone contacts, and email accounts, among others on your phone. This is information that a hacker can sell or use for identity theft among many other things. Such information has made phone hacking very common. Signs That Your Phone Has Been HackedPhone Running SlowerSlow phone performance is one of the most common signs that your phone has been hacked. Sometimes, you might realize that some mobile applications suddenly hang or crash when you are using them.

You might also encounter a situation where websites take a longer time to load than they used to before. This might be a result of python scripts that create malware to interfere with the processing power or the bandwidth of your phone. It is also a sign that your phone has been hacked. Constantly Getting HotIt is common for a phone to get hot. If you use your phone for long periods for things like gaming or streaming, chances are that it will get hot. However, have you realized that your phone is constantly getting hot even when you are not using it actively?

Well, if you ever find yourself in such a situation, then it means that someone else is using your phone. That could be a hacker and you need to check or scan the phone to block the access that the hacker has. Service or Network DisruptionsExperiencing disruptions in the network or service on your phone is a common occurrence. This might be a result of problems with your network provider. However, network providers have improved their services and disruptions are not frequent.

If you realize that you are constantly experiencing service or network disruptions, your phone might be hacked. This leads to constant bad connections or dropped calls. You might not even be able to send messages at times. New Applications on App DrawerYou might download an application to your phone and maybe forget about it. However, this is not very common. If you realize that you have an application that you cannot remember installing, then that might be a sign that your phone is hacked.

If you have many applications, you might not notice the presence of a malicious app. In case you realize that you have a suspicious application, check for it online before finding out if your iPhone is hacked, and follow the right procedure to get rid of the hacker. Popular Websites are DifferentPopular websites and search engines such as Google might change how their home pages look on special days. However, this happens only for a day. In addition, all websites do not change their home pages on the same day.

If you realize that almost every other website that you visit looks different, it could be a sign that your phone has been hacked. This happens when malware acts as a proxy between the web and yourself. Faster Battery DrainageDifferent reasons may lead to fast drainage of your phone’s battery. The most common one is having many applications running, mostly in the background. The first step to solving this problem is ensuring that background app data is restricted.

After trying everything you can to ensure that your battery consumption is normal, but still drains fast, then that is a sign that your phone might be hacked. Fast Data UsageWe all know t[...]

he amount of data we use on our mobile devices, especially when we are not connected to a WiFi network. Sometimes, when on mobile data, you might realize that you are consuming a lot more data than you usually do, even though you are not engaged in any other activity.

It is important to note that if your phone is hacked, it will still use your data to transmit all the information that the hacker is stealing from you. This translates to fast data usage.

Phone hacking is common. As technology advances, cybercriminals are coming up with new strategies to hack mobile devices. If you are going through one or more of the things discussed above, it could be a sign that your phone is hacked.

hacking: security in practice
are stealth phones legit?

I'm looking for an untraceable (so not even able to use triangulation to find my location) phone and I stumbled across this stealth phone https://x-cellular.com/phones.html

Is this a scam or legit? I'm not sure if it's possible for a phone to have these features.

Thanks.
