Nooo please leave Tiktok be, they didn't do anything wrong....

cough cough OSINT treasure trove cough cough



sort by: page size:

Kids or even adults are leaving critical OSINT information in their tiktoks.

Where they live, what they're doing right now etc. And from point of view of braindead attacker. All this can be done manually.

What if I reverse Tiktok and have everything automated.

A lot of people start to stream just for fun or by mistake, for few secs. Post a video by mistake.

Bot which watches specific profile 24/7 .... catches everything and more...


TikTok is the most successful espionage operation of the 21st century so far, and it is based on a simple idea - people will happily give away their data and privacy if you consistently entertain them.

In my opinion the application should be shut down as soon as possible, but there are many lessons to learn from it. And most of them have little to do with technology.


I mean TikTok is just some irresponsible private organization.

That is controlled by the CCP.


TikTok is a proprietary piece of mental malware driven by a malicious state actor - it has nothing to do with the open Internet.

TikTok is Chinese malware masquerading as a friendly social media app that people use for giggles when waiting for the bus or loafing at work. It’s a Trojan horse firmly embedded in the US with no oversight or regulation. And the amount of data it grabs behind the scenes is astonishing.

it amazes me that anyone uses tiktok to begin with. It was spyware from the start.

TikTok has been caught slurping data on a level that’s an order of magnitude worse than Facebook, etc. Add its close ties to the enormously corrupt and evil CCP, and I find it easy to see why Westerners are unnerved by the app. Perhaps Tiktok could open-source its tracking library as a token of good faith.

There are 170 million TikTok users in the US. Intelligence services would be doing a bad job if they didn't have their hooks in it somehow.

TikTok is basically a tool of [SOME NATION]'s military intelligence. Not going to say which nation, but this is well known in the security community

Except that TikTok is known to have used private information to go after people.

I actually think it's naive. Sure if military personnel or state department use TikTok that can create security risks, but the same is true with any other social media network.

The additional data that TikTok tries to gather from the mobile OSs is insignificant compared to what you can get from videos that people take willingly.

Russian soldiers use VK, that doesn't stop OSINT researchers tracking them down on there.


Good find, that's probably where they got the credentials for whatever dbs they're dumping. Not tiktok, just some 3rd party

Hope they overtake TikTok, we don't want a totalitarian government poisoning our children.

This is not good enough. People on this website know not to use TikTok. The message should be: tell your friends and family to get off TikTok. Tell them the unvarnished truth: it’s spyware

TikTok is a cultural cancer (along with OnlyFans and a few other apps) which will end up destroying society. The spyware component of it is just gravy.

so TikTok has scam content and it's serves it because someone accidentally watched a scam video.....seems like phishing with victim blaming haha. TikTok sucks

TikTok is leaking

if this is tiktok they shouldnt worry for long i bet it will be banned before end of year

I wouldn't mind if the CCP wants to own all the garbage content on tiktok as a tactic against us, as long as people are aware of the nonsense hosted on there.

Thanks, @libsoftiktok.
