Cybersecurity expert Caitlin Sarian warns that Temu installs malware and spyware that exfiltrates your data. A US government investigation and Grizzly Research study back the claim. Temu's parent company previously had another app blocked from Google Play for inserting malware.
If you use the Temu app, you need to hear this. Hi, I'm Caitlin. I'm a cybersecurity and data protection expert and I want to help you stay safe online. Let's go. Temu is now under investigation by the US Government and there's been a recent study put out by Grizzly Research that believes that the Temu app is putting malware and spyware on your device. Malware is like a computer virus and it's used to harm and steal information, giving bad actors full access to almost all data on customers mobile devices. The app has hidden functions that allows for extensive data exfiltration unbeknownst to the users. Before we continue, be sure to hit that follow button and follow along for all the cybersecurity news, tips and tricks to add more cause for concern, Temu's parent company, PDD holding, also owns the biggest e commerce platform, Pinduoduo. Just an FYI, Pinduoduo was blocked from the Google App Store because it was found to be inserting malware into users devices. As a data privacy expert, all I have to say is this app, yes, everything is cheap. They're definitely losing money on the products, but they are gaining money because they're selling your information and it's not.
