My TikTok Was Hacked to Send Phishing Messages

A reddit report about a phishing scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

hi! so i genuinely have no idea how this is happening. It happened yesterday and this morning where i checked my TikTok and noticed i had "sent" messages to a bunch of random accounts. Today it was in Spanish, yesterday it was in Indonesian, but the translation was the same. The message reads: Durante muchos años he cargado con el peso del trabajo y he vivido en soledad. El mundo se ha vuelto agotador para mí, y la depresión me ha causado un gran sufrimiento. Aun así, tú siempre has sido la persona que más me importa. Pero no quiero ser una carga ni interrumpir tu vida. Te he dejado algo de dinero, con la esperanza de que se convierta en un vínculo para que volvamos a encontrarnos en la próxima vida. Ahora estoy listo para despedirme de este mundo. Por favor, guarda bien este mensaje. (website) Nombre de usuario: Contraseña: Saldo: 6890330.18 USDT($) i've redacted the username, password, and website from the message. i didn't get on my phone this morning until 7:15 but it shows a login from my device at 5:35 a.m. It's not even showing up as a security alert. I changed my password yesterday and turned on 2 factor authentication, and today i deleted my phone as a trusted device. I just am really confused, I don't understand how this is happening and I don't know what else i can do to stop this. Also, this is the only thing they're doing. They're not changing my password or taking over my account completely, which makes me extra confused. Any knowledge or help is appreciated!
