Is there any third-party verification of this? Anyone can mock up screenshots to look like a TikTok database.

- xcdzvyn 4y agoThe author suggests it has been verified by a certain underground hacking forum. Look at his recent tweets.

- ItIsWhatItIs2 4y agoI am a bit wary of the claim/the validity of the hack. It seems rather short on details of what, and I haven't seen independent verification from someone reputable. The hack seems plausible though so who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ EDIT: In Troy Hunt I trust, and he is currently digging through it in this thread if anyone wants to follow along https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/1566565409939427328 https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/1566565409939427328. So far, the data seems legit, but publicly available/scrap-able.
- nathanaldensr 4y agoFWIW, I asked my question in good faith. For a hack such as this, which appears to include massive databases of one of the most highly-visible companies in the world, I'd expect a bit more meat.
- ItIsWhatItIs2 4y agoI agree, it seems like if this hack is true, it'd be possibly one of the largest breaches of user data ever only behind the Yahoo breach. I'd hope they'd include more info to corroborate their claim. So, I agree with being a bit cautious to begin with
- rvz 4y ago> Anyone can mock up screenshots to look like a TikTok database. That's true, but there is more than just a screenshot. I looked at the sample is it looks legit. So this right here is denial.
