TikTok's explosive growth has also made it a hotspot for cybercriminals. In this article, we uncover how attackers are exploiting the platform’s vulnerabilities, from zero-click attacks that require no user interaction to AI-generated phishing scams and flaws in third-party app integrations.

Cybercriminals are targeting mobile users more than ever, using sophisticated tools to steal credentials, monitor messages, and manipulate user data. With younger users and high-profile accounts in the crosshairs, the risks are escalating globally.

At Da Vinci Cybersecurity, we help individuals and organisations defend against these threats through:

• Mobile device security assessments

• Dark web monitoring for leaked TikTok credentials

• Zero-click exploit detection

• Cybersecurity awareness training tailored to social media threats

Whether you're a content creator, parent, or business using TikTok for marketing, our team at Da Vinci is here to keep your digital presence safe.

Stay informed. Stay protected. Let Da Vinci Cybersecurity be your frontline defence in the evolving TikTok threat landscape.

In this episode, we explore Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) cyber attacks , a stealthy and dangerous threat where attackers secretly intercept and possibly alter communication between a user and an application. We break down the two key stages of MITM attacks: interception and decryption, explaining how cybercriminals exploit insecure networks, fake Wi-Fi hotspots, and compromised devices to gain access to sensitive data like login credentials, emails, and financial information.

Discover real-world examples, signs of compromise, and the preventative steps every business and individual should take to stay protected.

At Da Vinci Cybersecurity, we help organisations defend against MITM attacks through proactive penetration testing, network monitoring, and employee training. Our experts simulate real-world attacks to expose vulnerabilities before cybercriminals do.

Listen now to learn how to spot, stop, and strengthen your defences against Man-in-the-Middle attacks , before it's too late.
