  • phone hardware information are stolen. such as, CPU type, number of course, HARDWARE ID'S, SCREEN DIMENSIONS, DPI, MEMORY USAGE, DISK SPACE, etc...

  • other applications that are present on our device.

  • IP address, LOCAL IP,ROUTER MAC,WIFI ACCESS POINT NAME.

  • whether or not your device is ROOTED/JAILBROKEN.

  • they setup a local proxy server on our devices for TRANSCODING MEDIA.

  • the scariest part is that after all logging they control it REMOTELY.so, if any one hacks into the database of tiktok, he will get access to millions of user's data.😑 

  • they have protections from debugging there app as well, which is good. but, who knows what they are doing with this enormous pile of information.

  • there is also a snippets of code on ANDROID VERSION, which allows them to remotely download zip files, unzip them, and even execute(the zips are too small for the phone to detect that they are breaching in!!!).

  • THEY EVEN ARN'T USING THE SAFER HTTPS BUT ARE USING HTTP REST API. so, BOOM!! all the users email's got leaked!!! ALSO OUR NAMES,BIRTHDAYS,ETC... ARE LEAKED MONTHS AGO ITSELF.
 
  • EVEN TIKTOK IS ACCESSING THE CLIPBOARD IN IOS14.means, they have your otp, passwords, links.

  • TIKTOK KNOWS EVERY KEYSTROKE YOU MAKE!!!
WHY DOES THE APP LIKE TIKTOK DOING ALL THIS STUFF?

as to sustain in the chinese market!!

very cheap tricks are played over the companies by the government of china.

sources are there which tells that:
  • china asks the companies to make duplicates of the existing famous applications, they are even paid to do so!!
  • govt. of china asks to collect user information(which are high priority secure information according to google's privacy terms)without even permission of the user itself.
  • the china financiers now use this information to grow there economy, which is an ILLEGAL ACT.
  • china makes the products, keeps a loophole in them they attack your device anonymously.
