I want to know what the F is going on... because this is the second medium I have seen this on. There are a handful of Tiktok videos warning people of getting their credit card or banking info stolen after using Temu. Is this some coordinated stock shakedown, or is it really that bad? It's interesting either way.
Getting your warnings about Chinese spyware from TikTok is like watching for icebergs ahead of the Titanic after it's already cracked in half and on the way to the bottom.
Ya, Tiktok bad. But the complaints aren't about spyware, its about some vulnerability on Temu that seems to be leaking card info to hackers.
