TikTok caught snooping on iPhone users’ clipboards

[Mirage]

Apple’s iOS 14 beta feature reveals TikTok grabbing the content of iPhone users’ clipboard every one to two three keystrokes. 
 

A new iOS 14 beta feature reveals popular video-sharing app TikTok accesses clipboard on iPhones in the background.

Apple’s iOS 14 update is set to bring a slew of new privacy features which include revealing which app is accessing what in the background. It also includes a pop-up when a third-party app accesses the clipboard, which essentially is a temporary store for copied text and other content. The clipboard feature is available on a variety of smartphones including the iPhone.

There were many security related studies that alerted apple about this. But they din seem to care yet. Honestly clipboard content access per se is not issue, as it is used for some smooth user experience. It becomes an issue when the data is being sent back and tracked...that's when you should really worry about  security. But there is no way to tell what will be done with that data.

Phishing is a different kind of attack. You pose as a legitimate person and u send phishing mails to users , collect sensitive information.

consider this scenario where you had to send  some text like bank account details or some sensitive info which is already there in your phone(email/whats app messages). what you do is copy it and send it yourself/wife or friend. when you do that it will be there in clipboard for a while.
