JAKARTA - Phishing is the most commonly used method for others to provide their personal information such as passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers, or other sensitive data.

Fraud messages can be sent via email, SMS (Smishing), in-app messages, voice messages (Vishing) or messaging applications on social media.

If you view or receive suspicious messages, emails, videos, or links on TikTok, the simplest step is not to open them and immediately report them to TikTok.

However, if you have already clicked on the link and feel that your account has been hacked by hackers, then immediately report it to TikTok.

Next, you can also take some steps to better secure your account:

Change password: if you feel your account has been broken, change your password as soon as possible. Select a password that is easy to remember but difficult for others to predict.

Enable 2-step verification: 2-step Verification will add an extra layer of security to your account if your password is broken. It also helps protect your account from unknown and unauthorized third-party devices or apps.

Check the device where you are logged in: you can view phones and other devices that are currently using or have just accessed your TikTok account.

Check security alerts: TikTok team will monitor suspicious or illegitimate activity. You can track unusual security events recently that you don't recognize.
