Consider the massive data breaches, such as China's OPM hack, which exposed information on US operatives; Anthem's health insurance breach; and Equifax's credit report breach. These incidents provided ample data on operatives' dependents and spouses. Coupled with TikTok's potential for real-time location monitoring, this information could enable tracking of US operatives' proxies, like their children or partners, in real time. By combining a database of Americans with background clearances, health and credit report data, and TikTok's location tracking capabilities, a dangerous and powerful surveillance tool emerges. https://www.wired.com/story/china-equifax-anthem-marriott-opm-hacks-data/ https://www.wired.com/story/china-equifax-anthem-marriott-op... https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/in-a-series-of-hacks-china-appears-to-building-a-database-on-americans/2015/06/05/d2af51fa-0ba3-11e5-95fd-d580f1c5d44e_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/in-a-... https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/22/tiktok-bytedance-workers-fired-data-access-journalists https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/22/tiktok-by... https://www.businessinsider.com/bytedance-planned-track-specific-us-tiktok-user-locations-report-2022-10 https://www.businessinsider.com/bytedance-planned-track-spec...
