TikTok can track its users’ every tap, keyboard input, and keystroke through its iOS in-app browser. 

Ex-Google Engineer and privacy researcher, Felix Krause published a report on Thursday which revealed that when TikTok users enter a website through a link on the iOS app, TikTok inserts code that can monitor much of their activity on these outside websites. 

The tracking would make it possible for TikTok to capture a user’s credit card information or password.

TikTok spyware follows everything you do, can capture passwords! Remember TikTok belongs to the Chinese communist party and Chinese military.

If you have this piece of sh*t on your phone, consider deleting it asap.

I trust the Apple users have heard about the upcoming #spyphone problem in the next iOS and macOS major releases so I will not rehash that here.

More on the upcoming Apple iOS / macOS photo #spyphone problem. It seems this malware/spyware will violate your privacy IF you use iCloud Photo Library (I am still looking to verify this). Well, you can turn this OFF. I had it shut already since I use Adobe and not Apple photo software on my mac.

Here is a good article on how to turn if off:

Tens of thousands of hacked security videos are being sold online. Many are fairly boring, showing people just sitting around their homes or hotels. Chinese hackers have stolen videos from tens of thousands of security cameras in private properties across the country and are selling the video clips online as “home video packages,” the Chinese outlet Henan Television reported.The video footage showcases clips from cameras installed by homeowners for security reasons or others secretly installed by ill-intentioned people in hotels, fitting rooms and beauty salons.
