Researchers Demonstrate How to #Hack Any #TikTok #Account by Sending #SMS:-- TikTok, the 3rd most downloaded app in 2019, is under intense #scrutiny over users' privacy, censoring politically controversial content and on #national #security grounds—but it's not over yet, as the security of billions of TikTok users would be now under #question.
