Seriously?! Another Phishing Scam.
Oh, joy. Apparently, some absolute morons are falling for a TikTok Shop scam called “ClickTok.” CTM360 found it – because *someone* has to clean up after the rest of you lot. Basically, these chuckleheads are sending out messages pretending to be about TikTok Shop rewards or discounts. Click the link, and BAM! You’re downloading malware or handing over your credentials. It’s a classic phishing campaign, but tailored for people who spend too much time watching pointless videos.
They’re using shortened URLs (because subtlety is clearly lost on these criminals) and redirecting victims through a bunch of different sites to hide where they actually are. The malware? A mix of stuff – info stealers, banking trojans, the usual garbage. And it’s not just one region; this crap is hitting people everywhere.
The worst part? TikTok *is* trying to take down these accounts, but these scammers keep making new ones faster than I can finish a cup of coffee. Honestly, if you need to be told not to click random links about “free stuff” on social media, maybe just…log off the internet forever. It’d be doing everyone a favor.
Don’t be a sheep. Think before you click. Or better yet, don’t click at all. Is that too much to ask?
Speaking of idiots, I once had a user try to blame me for their computer getting infected after they downloaded “free Minecraft skins” from a website that looked like it was designed in MS Paint. Seriously. Some people just *want* to be hacked. It’s infuriating.
