TikTok literally got people to commit check fraud
TilTok likely got my car stolen (Hyundai vulnerability trended on TikTok)
That's Hyundai/Kia's fault though. For whatever reason, they cheaped out and didn't include an immobilizer in 2011-2022 models (meaning the cars don't actually verify that there's a key in it, so you can just remove the key hole and turn the ignition with a screwdriver or USB cable or whatever to start it).
Before TikTok, this would have just spread on different platforms...
I'm not defending TikTok though.
yes i know a kia owner with a similar story
