Can TikTok Reach Bitcoin Addresses
Apple released the iOS 14 update for iPhones last week. With this update, however, it revealed more clearly than ever that many popular iOS apps are reading data in the user's phone memory, even if there is no clear reason. The fact that this can be done with other Apple devices nearby showed itself as another topic of discussion.
Data sharing In March, researchers Tommy Mysk and Talal Haj Bakry first claimed that the social video sharing platform TikTok and dozens of other apps regularly pull data from the iOS and iPadOS dashboard, even if you are not in the text input box. In addition, the main point is; As Ars Technica noted in a recent report, this data could potentially include Bitcoin addresses or other sensitive financial information. The declaration of data sharing appeared with the iOS 14 beta update. Because now, a warning appears when iPhone application copies data from another clipboard. As stated in a viral video shared on Twitter last week, especially TikTok pulls data in two clicks and does this without the user's consent. With Bitcoin and XRP, you can sign up to 100 times leverage on Bitmex with a 10% commission discount. On the other hand, Apple's modern devices such as iPhone, iPad and Mac computers also share the Universal Clipboard feature. When devices that share an Apple ID are too close, clipboard data can also be read from other devices if you want to paste something from one device to another. Financial Data In fact, when this situation is handled, there is sensitive information on the phone, which now many of us keep everything on the phone, posing a great risk for users. Along with passwords, account information, credentials and personal data, your Bitcoin addresses may also be at risk. However, even though most of the important apps detected do not use the functionality maliciously, the presence of the feature raises doubts about the security of data in iOS. In other news, a TikTok representative said last week that this feature was implemented as an anti-spam measure and a version that could be used without the feature was sent for approval. In addition, Bitcoin users started to share videos about the leading cryptocurrency in TikTok months ago, and this was another important agenda item on the famous platform.
