TikTok is addressing a cyber-attack aimed at various brands and celebrities, including Paris Hilton and CNN. While TikTok confirmed only a “very limited” number of accounts were compromised, it assured users it’s working to restore access. The specifics of the attack, such as its method, weren’t disclosed. Although Paris Hilton’s account was targeted, it remained secure. However, CNN’s account was compromised. TikTok is collaborating with CNN to regain access and bolster security. This incident occurs amidst TikTok facing potential US ban unless it’s divested from its Chinese parent company. TikTok, with millions of global users, faces scrutiny over data security and its ties to the Chinese government. Additionally, it’s becoming a notable platform for US election discourse.
