TikTok said Tuesday it has taken steps to stop a cyberattack targeting high-profile accounts, including one belonging to CNN.

�Our security team was recently alerted to malicious actors targeting CNN�s TikTok account,” TikTok spokesperson Jason Grosse said in a prepared statement. TikTok has been working with CNN to restore its access to the account and add �enhanced security measures� to safeguard it, Grosse said.

�We are dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the platform and will continue to monitor for any further inauthentic activity,� Grosse added.

CNN did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

The social media company said the attack took place through the platform’s direct-messaging feature, without sharing further information about the nature of the hack. Grosse said TikTok is still investigating the �potential exploit� and working with affected account owners who need their access restored. Grosse did not share the number of accounts that were targeted, but said only �a very small number of accounts were compromised.�

TikTok did not name the other affected accounts, other than to note that the account of socialite and reality TV star Paris Hilton was targeted but not compromised.
