It is not a TikTok leak. It is more like from a system which is integrated with TikTok/WeChat for marketing / e-commerce usage. Pretty obvious if you look at the tables closely. And the "cabinet" means hosting cabinets (steel frames holding the machines). Which means those dudes were basically downloading the ad logs..

The tables looked fictional in the first screenshot, but after seeing the rest in the replies I’m not so sure. There are enough relevant tables for an app of this scale to make this seem pretty legit.

  They are legit. But just not from TikTok. Think of a system where you can manage your ad spending and user growth with TikTok/WeChat (like product promotions, referring from a friend etc.)

    It occurs to me that this could be the database for one of those shady "buy TikTok likes" services. That'd neatly explain a lot of the features we see in the dump.

How do you explain that it has 2 billion user records? > And the "cabinet" means hosting cabinets (steel frames holding the machines). This sounds totally implausible, given: > there's another DB in the Oracle server we're in, it's called "cabinet cloud" and it's 34GB in total Why would you name a database after the kind of furniture housing your computers?

  They are records with user info, which are different from user records. Mostly likely just user activities. Cabinet = jigui in Chinese. It looks like something for operation tracking. Just look at the table names.

Yes looks very much like scraped data as much as some people here want it to be a real leak from TikTok so they can go after them for the millionth time. I wonder what the scrapers use this data for and how it's monetized. Is it just for buying likes and followers?
