The TikTok app is one of the most downloaded apps in the world available in 150 markets and used in 75 different languages. Research by Check Point Software Technologies has revealed a series of vulnerabilities in the app leaving the personal information of its users vulnerable to exposure and could also enable cyber criminals to manipulate content on user accounts. The vulnerabilities allow attackers to get a hold of TiKTok accounts and manipulate their content, delete videos, upload unauthorized videos, make private “hidden” videos public and reveal personal information saved on the account such as private email addresses.
