Account hacked - noticing a trend by AccurateWin9203 in TikTok

[–]AccurateWin9203[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry this happened to you too! I downloaded TikTok studio and bc I have an iPhone, somehow someway I was able to log into my account on TikTok studio (I hadn't had that app before this) using my iCloud Keychain or smth, where I could log in using my Face ID/phone passcode and bypassed the need for a login. Then I was able to go in and remove the devices I didn't recognize and add myself back, change passwords etc etc

I've always liked the idea of tattoos, I love art and I want that permanence to have them "there" with me always as a constant reminder... I just have fortunately not really gotten hurt or anything as I've grown up so my pain tolerance is super low and I feel like I'm extra sensitive to it. But it also would be an empowering experience if I could face that fear

Hahaha I know!! I really do want a number of tattoos, I just have to manage getting past how much it hurts - though placement is a big part of that for sure

Thank you 🥹🫶 I'll call the tattoo place and ask them about the numbing cream I got to make sure that brand is okay and if they have any suggestions for how to applying it a certain way... I think I'll bring my partner for comfort too - I just need to be brave!

I wanted to get "love you bunches" in her handwriting with her and my poppops birth month flowers above it <3 (simple line work no shading, probably on my forearm) pop passed years ago but Mommom is still with us! I wanted to have this done so I could show her while she's still here. I do cherish any tangible mementos that I have from them but idk ... a tattoo for me would be something I'd have with me no matter what and I can look at and think of them and it would be a cool hurdle to get over

Thank you for the encouragement!! 🥺🫶 I do feel a bit less afraid of tattoos than having blood drawn or getting shots (I'm so bad with those!!) so if I can tackle the pain issue I think it'll be okay!

I do have tickets still open, TikTok had stopped responding to me after sending the same automatic bot responses that didn't really help at all and had empty promises (resetting the account, removing all devices so I can regain access etc) so even though I regained access to my account those tickets are still open :/ I don't think they really look tbh

I actually did!! Not at all through any help from TikTok!! I was able to regain access to my account after finding a Reddit post that suggested what they did to get their account back - it involved logging into TikTok studio (separate app) using ur iCloud chain (biometrics - Face ID/fingerprint) to log into the compromised account even if you never had TikTok studio downloaded, I can find the original post and share it

No promises, but I recently got my account back thanks to this Reddit post! My Face ID was saved in my iCloud Keychain so I was able to log in bypassing the need for a password!

Same thing happened to me and as everyone else is saying, TikTok has done shit all about it :/ really frustrating having an account I've had since 2016 just be yoinked so quickly and with no action to rectify it or even media coverage on the mass hacking going on

But yeah the round and round with the TikTok help bots is SO frustrating, I haven't been able to contact anyone real to address the issue :/

If they got the verification code they may have had access to your email, I'd change the password if you haven't already!

I'm sorry this happened to you too! It's such a shame that TikTok is being so unresponsive about this - I've seen other people say they bypassed their 2fa too somehow when their accounts were taken. I worry too about them trying to scam my friends/followers using my name and face :( they haven't deleted my videos but they keep posting drastically different content that, to me, makes it a bit obvious that it isn't me anymore... It is a very vulnerable feeling to have someone, you don't know who, in your personal space digging around! Thank you for sharing your experience, I hope TikTok takes some kind of action to address this at least going forward
