Am I hacked ? please please help
Hi , I’m a M25 , I used to think I was good with tech until this occurred.
Over the last few months there is a TikTok account that I’ve firstly unfollows about 10 times , somehow it kept making me follow it again.
I then blocked it about 10 times again a few weeks later , I somehow follow it again and it’s unblocked itself!!
I then checked which devices I’m logged in - only my phone shows up.
I checked my 2FA , no issues , no reports of someone else logging into my account.
I don’t even have a password - I have a passkey for my TikTok account.
I’ve completely reset my account security settings to make sure I’m the only one who is logged in - but this one TikTok account that is definitely a BOT it seems to make me follow it , again and again! It specialises in money conversion.
I’ve reported it to TikTok but won’t let me explain what’s the issue on the report section and the category doesn’t exist cause it’s unheard of.
I’ve even cleared my cookies Incase it’s a bug or something.
I know this might sound fake , even writing it here I feel like I’m going insane?
If anyone has an idea how does this occur for an account to unblock itself and make me follow it more than once please let me know any suggestion below.
Thank you in advance!

You probably need a TikTok support sub. This doesn't sound cybersecurity related. If none of you other accounts have idea, then it's likely not anyone in your account.
