TikToker mortified after user easily fakes her dad\u2019s identity during stream TikTok: et.nyaA TikToker was left mortified after a user easily faked her dad\u2019s identity during a stream, convincing her they were the real deal. In the age of social media, anyone can impersonate you online. All you need is a name, some basic information about the person you\u2019re copying, and a little bit of social engineering. It\u2019s this reason why verification has historically been so crucial across various platforms. To prove the real from the fake. Though showing just how easy it is to impersonate someone online, a TikTok is now going viral showing how a person you\u2019re talking to might not even be who they claim to. Uploaded by TikTok user et.nya, they hopped into a random TikTok livestream, found the streamer\u2019s Facebook page, and used the streamer\u2019s dad\u2019s image as a profile picture. Naturally, the streamer was skeptical at first, considering et.nya\u2019s username was \u201crizzondemand\u201d. Even saying, \u201cUnless someone\u2019s pretending to be my dad, but I don\u2019t think so.\u201d To prove they were their dad, the streamer asked what her nickname was, which was also remarkably easy to find. \u201cBugg\u201d is the streamer\u2019s nickname, which was discoverable on the streamer\u2019s dad\u2019s Facebook page as well. Once et.nya correctly called her Bugg, the streamer immediately bought in, despite the username. Naturally, many viewers were mortified, with one comment writing, \u201cThe internet is a scary place.\u201d However, others found the humor in it, saying, \u201cRizzondemand had me howling.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time et.nya has freaked out random TikTok live streamers with their profile picture, regularly going into random livestreams and using the streamer\u2019s face as their profile picture. So if you\u2019re going to live stream on TikTok, or any social media for that matter, do be careful of what you put out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
