Security News > 2020 > May > Exclusive – Any Mitron (Viral TikTok Clone) Profile Can Be Hacked in Seconds

Mitron is not really a 'Made in India' product, and the viral app contains a highly critical, unpatched vulnerability that could allow anyone to hack into any user account without requiring interaction from the targeted users or their passwords.

Popped out of nowhere, Mitron is not owned by any big company, but the app went viral overnight, capitalizing on its name that is popular in India as a commonly used greeting by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Any Mitron Users Account Can Be Hacked in Seconds The insecurity that TikTok is a Chinese app and might have allegedly been abusing its users' data for surveillance turned millions into signing up for less trusted and insecure alternative blindly.

The Hacker News learned that the Mitron app contains a critical and easy-to-exploit software vulnerability that could let anyone bypass account authorization for any Mitron user within seconds.

Who is Behind the Mitron App? An Indian or a Pakistani? Though the code has been developed by the Pakistani company, real identity of the person behind the Mitron app-TicTic at heart TikTok by face-has yet not been confirmed; however, some reports suggest it's owned by a former student of the Indian Institute of Technology.
