TikTok is denying claims that a hacking group has breached an Alibaba cloud database containing 2.05 billion records that include data on TikTok and WeChat users.
The hacking group, which goes by the name AgainstTheWest, on Friday posted screenshots—which they say were taken from the hacked database—on a hacking forum.
The Alibaba server that was breached contains 2.05 billion records in a 790GB database with user data, platform statistics, source code, cookies, auth tokens, server info, and other information, the hacking group said. The hackers also claimed they are yet to decide if they want to sell the data or release it to the public.
