The reports arose due to an alleged hack that appeared on the Breach Forums message board earlier this month. One user posted screenshots that were allegedly from a TikTok and WeChat data breach. The user told the forum that they were not sure if they wanted to sell it or release it to the public. In the same post, a link to two samples of the data was published. The user claimed to have accessed 2 billion records from the database. It is still unclear whether the user is being truthful about the hack, but TikTok continues to state that it has found no evidence of a breach.
