How to hack TikTok accounts?

If you want to know  how you can hack any account in TikTok, you probably are a user of this app already, but we will have a short review of TikTok at the beginning of the article. Then we will show you if it is possible to hack TikTok and the methods to do this

What is TikTok?

TikTok is an app similar to Instagram, which has become one of the most popular social networks these days, with more than one billion downloads on the Play Store. In the TikTok app, like Instagram, you can publish your videos, follow your friends, and search through millions of videos.

The first time you run TikTok, you will be asked about your favorite styles. Options such as comedy, entertainment, talent, beauty, animals, education, and more are available for you to choose from, let your interests be known, and watch related videos in the app. On the next page, you must specify your gender for TikTok. The initial registration steps are completed, and you enter the program. The great thing about TikTok is that you will not need to sign up for the program to watch videos and use some features. For example, just by going through the previous steps, i.e., specifying your interests and gender, you will be logged in, and you will be able to watch videos, read comments and search for IDs or hashtags. You need to register in the program for other features such as sending comments, liking videos, following, etc.  The TikTok app can be downloaded for both Android and iOS operating systems. You can download this application with the help of the links from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Web-version of TikTok

Fortunately, TikTok, like Instagram, has a web version that allows users to use the web version in addition to mobile and applications. Many users in some countries have encountered problems in accessing the TikTok app. The only solution to this problem is to use the web version, which makes the closest experience possible to  the mobile app.

Is it possible to hack TikTok?

Today we have to work harder than we think to secure our accounts. To increase security on the Internet, you need to store and secure important account information and do not make this information available to anyone but yourself. Also, watch out for apps you install on your phone and incoming messages with links that take you to other pages. Hacking social networks such as popular applications such as TikTok is one of the main targets of hackers and attackers. The famous Chinese video-sharing app TikTok has high-security vulnerabilities that allow hackers to remotely hack any account just by knowing the victim's mobile number. By hacking a TikTok account, a hacker can do the following:

- Hackers can upload any video they want to the victim's TikTok profile

- Remove any videos from the victim TikTok profile

- Convert "Private" movies to "Public" mode

- Disclosure of the victim's personal information, including private addresses such as email addresses

How to do it?

The attack occurs through the insecure SMS system that TikTok offers on its website. TikTok has created this SMS system to send a message to their mobile number to receive the download link of the video-sharing program. It is possible to send a text message to any number from TikTok. But according to the findings of the security company Check Point, hackers can create a fake notification with a malicious link from this app, by following which, the control of the user account is handed over to the hacker. In this  type of attack, such as injecting a script through a website, as soon as the link sent to the victim by the TikTok server clicks, the hacker can execute the JavaScript code instead of the victim. This method can be considered an intermediate request forgery attack through which the hacker invites the victim to an unwanted action. (In this type of attack, a user logged into a login software is forced to send a request to that vulnerable web application to perform the action they want.)

TikTok hack ways

There are several ways to hack your TikTok account password that a hacker can use:

1- Use the HackTok app

This app was created to help TikTok users recover their lost accounts. They provided a way to heal and access the password to use it if none of the official TikTok account recovery methods worked. Many social media users today do not consider how important it is to save an email address and login password when registering for an account. People often forget their email and password after writing and creating an account.  HackTok is a tool  designed for this situation and allows users to recover their password when needed. This program uses a brute-force attack to bypass the user's email entry barrier. The only information required to the HackTok application to hack the TikTok account password is the username of the person in TikTok. The HackTok program then attacks the TickTock login page with a username with thousands of possible passwords per minute until it finds a valid password to log in. This app is available for all Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS devices and operating systems. Although this program is not designed for hackers, many people abuse it. It is better to be careful about the security of your account and use two-step verification as much as possible.

2- Guess the password

It may seem a bit unrealistic, but guessing the password is one of the methods that  hackers can use to hack your TikTok account. The fact is that half of all Internet users use specific and predictable passwords for their accounts. Most of these passwords are related to the user's personal life, such as their name, child, spouse, pet, or date of birth. Therefore, it is recommended that you create a strong password for your accounts using password makers.

Research has shown that the most common passwords Internet users create for their online accounts are:

Password, whatever, iloveyou, admin, football and numbers in order like 12345678.

3- Phishing technique

Phishing is one of the most popular hacking methods for hackers of all time. Although this is an old technique, it will be compatible with new technology updates.  Phishing attacks are carried out through emails and messages. Victims directly enter their sensitive and confidential information into fake websites that look precisely like the safe and legal websites they want. In this attack, the hacker sends an invalid link to the victim and encourages them to open the link, and after the users go to the desired page and enter their personal information, it will be hacked. The phishing scam is one of the social engineering techniques to deceive users. Phishing attack requires familiarity with HTML, CSS, and PHP programming languages.

Last word

In general, it should be said that you should always be careful and do not open any link that is sent to you, and before clicking on it, be a little cautious and open only the links that start with HTTPS and its color is not red. Now you know some hack ways to control  an account on TikTok, but we recommend you not abuse this method and use them if necessary. You also need to protect your account and information from being stolen because, as you have seen, it is too easy for a hacker to hack your account on TikTok. So note that you should not say your passwords to anyone, and you also need to choose a strong password for your bills and make them as safe as you can.
