A TikTok user identifying as “Haji Saha Safety” and also known online as “Afghan Hazard National” has drawn attention within Afghan social media circles after allegedly posting threats to hack other users’ TikTok accounts. The individual, who some users claim is a refugee living in a Western country under the name Farhad Hosani, reportedly included a PayPal link on his TikTok profile and encouraged others to send payments or report accounts for hacking.
Community members have shared screenshots and messages that appear to show the account publicly claiming, “I am hacking your TikTok accounts.” These posts have caused concern among Afghan digital activists and influencers who fear they could become targets of cyberattacks or online intimidation.
Cybercrime and Legal Implications
Cybersecurity experts remind users that hacking and unauthorized access to social media accounts are serious offenses under international and national cybercrime laws. Even threatening to hack or encouraging others to do so can violate digital-safety regulations.
Under most Western jurisdictions, including the United States and the European Union, unauthorized computer access, data theft, and extortion via online platforms can lead to criminal prosecution. Authorities encourage potential victims to collect digital evidence—such as screenshots, timestamps, and profile URLs—and submit formal reports to both law enforcement and the platform involved.
Platform Responsibility and Reporting Procedures
TikTok’s official policy prohibits harassment, hacking, and solicitation of illegal services. Users who believe they have been threatened or targeted by similar activity can file complaints through TikTok’s in-app reporting feature. Likewise, PayPal forbids use of its services for any illegal or coercive activity.
Digital-safety advocates urge anyone encountering such accounts to:
- Report the profile immediately through TikTok’s “Report Account” function.
- Avoid sending money or personal data to anyone offering “account recovery” or “hacking” services.
- Secure personal accounts by changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA).
- File a report with local cybercrime units or digital-law enforcement agencies if threats persist.
Community Reaction
Afghan social media users abroad—many of whom use platforms like TikTok to promote culture, human rights, or refugee stories—express growing anxiety about online intimidation. Several digital activists have called for community solidarity and responsible reporting to stop cyberbullying and fake hacking claims.
An Afghan cybersecurity advisor told Kauser News that such incidents highlight “the urgent need for online awareness and digital safety training among refugee communities, where many rely on social media as their main communication tool.”
While the claims surrounding Farhad Hosani, also known as Haji Saha Safety, remain under review and unverified by official sources, the episode underscores the importance of responsible digital conduct and legal accountability in online spaces. Cyber threats—even if made casually—can have real-world consequences, especially within vulnerable refugee networks where trust and reputation are vital.
