“Adult TikTok” searches lead to scams

This advisory describes a malvertising campaign that exploits TikTok-related searches by presenting fake "exclusive" adult-content pages; these pages rely on blurred thumbnails and calls-to-action to harvest clicks, email addresses, payment card details (via fake "age verification"), or to push apps outside official stores. The operators monetize via affiliate commissions, ad impressions/redirects, lead sales, subscription traps, and sometimes by distributing unwanted or malicious software; users are advised to close the tab, not provide credentials/payment details, avoid installing prompted apps, and treat any submitted data as exposed.
