TikTok is monitoring all keyboard inputs and taps on iOS

[Redaktion]

Recent research has shown that the TikTok iOS app opens any links inside an in-app browser and all interaction with the website is being recorded. This info can include passwords, credit card information, addresses, and so on. Although TikTok confirmed the existence of such features, the company also denied using them.

A simple fact we need to acknowledge: China = bad guy; US = Good guy.
Easily comprehensible.

Well, every browser receives all the keystrokes on all the websites that it displays. Always. It has to. If it wants to spy on you, it doesn't have to rely on javascript as it is the browser that fires those javascript events in the first place. You certainly shouldn't use browsers which you do not trust. If the client itself is compromised, there is no protection.

Pffff...  Double standards!  The whole Google Android OS is one gigantic spyware.  This the reason why I NEVER do online banking and making purchases on any of my Android devices, and also why I cheer on competitors like Huawei's Harmony OS so at least my mobile devices become semi-useful and not just some junk entertainment devices.

While HarmonyOS' official marketing and development paperwork appear to be intentionally written to obfuscate the fact this it is essentially a forked version of Android, it does appear to be based on Google's mobile OS, so to say that it is replacing Android on the company's smartphones isn't exactly correct.

Facebook also doesn't provide a way to open the link in default browser... please check your facts. I uninstalled the app and resorted to using the browser version once I realized this.

It's not that simple, but... in today's politics, everything is more and more black or white with each day that passes. Goes both ways, since many people are painting black the EU and US these days in the same manner as China and Russia are being portrayed.

Click a link, and in the in-app browser window that opens, just use the three-dot menu. There's an "Open in Browser" option there. You don't need to type/perform any operations in the internal browser window to do that. I think this qualifies as a way to open the link in the default browser... although it requires three additional steps - click, open menu, select an option.

Those "many people" being KGB and?.. What, China? I'm sure that's veeery impactful, especially in light of recent events.

I'm surprised those are THE ONLY things being stolen. How humble of them!

[Codrut Nistor]

Sadly, those "many people" include A LOT of EU citizens. I live in Romania and, here, Russian-backed propaganda has been working for over a decade at full speed. Poland, as well. Extremist movements with nationalistic flavor, antivaxxers... and if we are unlucky enough, after the next elections, to be held in 2024, they will hold a majority and organize polls to exit EU/NATO. By then, the economic dive would have pushed even more people straight into the open arms of those movements that claim we should "take our country back" aaand... I don't even want to think about this. The certain fact is it's not just us. In most Eastern European countries the population is very divided and you don't even wanna know how many think that Ukraine should surrender, that it's their fault because this has started, and so on.

We are getting into politics more than we should here, sorry for my ramblings above. However, feel free to ask me more about the situation and I will do my best to enlighten you.

After investing £140,000 of my hard earned money as a new means of earning for me, which is binary options with HQ broker. I was only able to make a few withdrawals from my trading with the company. Only to discover the company not answering my calls or replying my emails months later. I have been wondering how to go about getting back my lost funds but my efforts has rather been abortive. Recently I came in contact with rescue dial recovery team, they extracted my funds in fractions and made my recoup happen in a week. If you have been through the same situation and know you got scammed as well hackadviserpro @ gmail com together we can make something happen.
