Are you using one of the favorite Chinese video-sharing apps, TikTok? If yes, here are the infamous 'Anonymous' hackers warning you. There is something wrong with this app, and you need to uninstall it right away. Now that's a legitimate scary warning coming from the world's biggest hacking organization. So it must be true, then.
Even Anonymous wants you to delete TikTok
Based on the circulating post made by an unknown male Reddit user who said to reverse-engineered the app, TikTok is nothing as "a data collection service that is thinly-veiled as a social network."
"They provide users with a taste of 'virality' to entice them to stay on the platform. Your first TikTok post will likely garner quite a bit of like, regardless of how good it is ... assuming you get past the initial moderation queue if that's still a thing. Most users end up chasing the dragon," said on the post.
To make things worse, according to the post, TikTok's logging data is "remotely configurable, unless you reverse every single one of their native libraries and manually inspect every single obfuscated function."
All the CPU type, memory usage, disk space, and hardware ids were allegedly being saved on TikTok once users install the app.
Maybe people will listen to Anonymous, right?
