The case was recently discovered using the “Invisible Body” filter and is not nothing but criminal actions carried out by people who want to steal data and intimate photos of users. The trend video has more than 25 million views.
Social networks are part of the lives of thousands of people around the world, and there is no denying these advances in society. To use it correctly, it is necessary to bear in mind that not everything deserves to be shared, as well as many practices that do not deserve to be followed. When a trend appears in the TikTok, pay attention to the origin and whether it can generate a greater consequence than just publishing a video.

The moment points out that Invisible Body is one of the most popular challenges that have emerged, but behind it there is a trap that everyone needs to be very aware of.
Data theft by TikTok
The challenge of using the filter became very popular, and it was through this that the hackers developed a method for the filter to be removed and, consequently, naked bodies actually appear in the recorded video.
Criminals managed to generate a link that directs the person to Discord and that's where they find videos of people with exposed bodies. This organization was discovered on account of the Checkmarx researchers who were able to unravel the crime and discovered that the filter, when downloaded, could also steal some information from the user. About 30,000 people access Discord where videos are recorded.
Are TikTok Pitfalls Common?
In addition to the filter, a new trend has emerged on the social network, but not everything that goes viral means it should be done. Lately, users have been using adhesive tape to cover their mouths before bed. However, doctors have warned about the practice and the dangers of covering the mouth with a plaster to sleep.
Those who followed this trend went viral among people who snore when sleeping or who have an oral health problem. The practice is not recommended, because, according to the doctor from Meryland (USA), from Mercy Medical Center, “if you vomit at night and keep your mouth covered, you run the risk of choking”.
