When TikTok users enter a website through a link on the app, TikTok inserts code that can monitor much of their activity on those outside websites, including their keystrokes and whatever they tap on the page, according to new research shared with Forbes.

"This was an active choice the company made, said Felix Krause, a software researcher based in Vienna, who published a report on his findings Thursday. This is a non-trivial engineering task. This does not happen by mistake or randomly. Krause is the founder of Fastlane, a service for testing and deploying apps, which Google acquired five years ago.

It must be tough getting along in this world thinking an app with literal hundreds of millions of users thinks your credit card information would be important enough to take -- since you know, your 10k or whatever is in your bank is such a big drop in their buckethttps://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/3/7/AACLAQAADlIp.png
