What's the security/privacy vulnerability that would allow TikTok access to sensitive info from email?
- jeffbee 6y agoClipboard access.
- Andrex 6y agoContacts at least, as the lowest-hanging fruit.
- closetnerd 6y agoLikely that they have the potential to have as much information about us as Facebook does - but China? If there was a real security/privacy issue - I'd be more upset with Apple than China (as an iPhone user). Apple needs to watch my back.
- gandutraveler 6y agoOn top of background device data and analytics there is lot of sensetive user data shared on the app for which can be used to target certain audience. Social engineering this data and joining it with other apps(which can have security holes) is enough to hack the device and steal additional info. All this also applies to American companies like FB, Google etc however american companies don't have a parent like CCP who has access to all the data.

- Randor 6y agoExactly. The real question is why does your phone even allow such things to happen in the first place?
