TikTok denies the claims made by hacking group AgainstTheWest that it breached an Alibaba cloud database containing 2.05 billion records including TikTok source code and user data. The hacking group posted screenshots of the “stolen” data on a hacking forum, but TikTok told BleepingComputer that the data was “completely unrelated” to the company. It said the source code in the screenshots was not its own and that there are safeguards in place to prevent direct scraping of the platform.
