"China knows everything." Smartphones and Tiktok pass on the Armed Forces fighters - expert

Considering who can transmit this data to China (which countries it cooperates with), use Chinese smartphones and Chinese programs is very risky. "If you have a Chinese smartphone and it also set a Chinese Tiktok, then you can assume that the Chinese know everything about you: your data, location, your passwords, your fingerprints and, of course, your personal photos," said Vitaliy. According to him, the use of social networking by our military at the front is a particular danger.

Very often, they place in Tiktok videos from the advanced, and this cannot be done in any way. China, among other things, carefully monitors the location of smartphone users and Tiktok, in particular. "China collects not only geodans of its users, but even encrypted information and files. Yes, they are very long and difficult to decipher, but China makes such a" stock "for the future, then once decrypt them and use that data for intelligence," - says Cyberexpert.

It is necessary to remember, says Vitaliy that any Chinese smartphones (Xiaomi, OPPO, ZTE, HUAWEI, etc. ) or popular Chinese programs (such as Tiktok, WeChat, Xiaomi Home, etc. ) will surely spy for you. These applications will require the maximum number of permits to work on your smartphone, and they will simply not function without permits. Therefore, you have a choice - either give your data to the Chinese or not use Chinese smartphones and programs.

"In terms of gathering information using smartphones and programs, Chinese manufacturers are full of card blanche. They are simply obliged to do it according to the rules of their country. And then you can imagine who is friends with China and who can transmit your data, and even more so our military, ”says Vitaliy Yakushev. Earlier, Focus reported that the TikTok ban in the United States may also reach Ukraine. Some states have already banned the Chinese social network.
