Messages Saying TikTok Is Available In India are Fraud
The Central Government has banned 59 well known Chinese
applications including TikTok over secutiry concerns. Exploiting TikTok's popularity,
numerous cyber theives are currently taking its name to fool individuals with
malware. Numerous user in India are currently getting messages by means of
WhatsApp or SMS asserting that TikTok is accessible and individuals can utilize
it as TikTok Pro, which should be ignored. The messages are being circulated by cybercriminals as the TikTok is as yet
prohibited.
The message that is being passed on to users, "Enjoy
Tiktok video and create creative videos once again. Now TikTok is only
available in (TikTok Pro) then download from below." People are tricked into tapping the link given
in the message and download the TikTok Pro APK file. It is therefore advised not to click on such unofficial links.
When anybody downloads the application from the given links ,
a symbol will show up which is equivalent to the first TikTok application. It
likewise requests permission to camera, mic, location ,storage and others. At
the point when the permissions are allowed , the application doesn't work and
just remains on smartphone. These applications are not accessible on Google
Play and in this way, many users are approached to download the APK file to
introduce it. Applications like these are equipped for taking users data of
other mainstream web based social media accounts and other private data without
any problem.
Cybersecurity worries in India have been rising and 25 Android applications have been banned from
Google Play store. As indicated by cybersecurity reports, these applications on
Google were taking Facebook login details of users. The prohibited applications
were utilized by more than 2 million individuals and had malwares that tracked
Facebook login details when used from smartphones . It should be remembered that until the
government lifts the ban from TikTok, the application's original version will
not be available in the country.
