TikTok’s Silent Intruder: High-Profile Accounts Hacked Without a Trace

Beware of TikTok’s silent but deadly exploit: high-profile accounts like Paris Hilton’s are getting hijacked without a peep. Opening a DM is the new “abracadabra” for hackers. CNN’s caught in the web too, prompting a digital safety scramble. Stay tuned, but maybe don’t slide into those DMs. #TikTokHackAttack

Hot Take:

Well, it seems TikTok's got a new kind of performance art happening, and it's called 'Silent Hacking.' That's right, folks, your favorite celebs and brands are getting compromised, but shhh... they're not saying anything. It's the mime of cyber attacks, if you will. Paris Hilton, CNN, and others had their accounts turned into digital Marcel Marceaus, and all they had to do was open a DM. TikTok's on it, but let's be real, this is the social media equivalent of a silent film in a talkie world.
