The only thing annoying to me about temu is the cheesy popups for "free" gifts and percent-off wheel spinners.

I hate Temu, but this (apparently contracted?) Grizzly Reports report isn't really all that trust inspiring, tbh.

Our experts identified a stack of software functions that are completely inappropriate to and dangerous

The stack difference to the Amazon app they list:

  • Package compile
  • Requesting system logs
  • Some code obfuscation
  • Mac address collection
  • Install permission
  • Wake lock

Meh. That's just a sliver worse than your regular, off the shelves proprietary corporate app. I don't see how they can pull off the promise of being a truly dynamic Android app from that report.

I do believe they hover up data, but they aren't otherworldly super hackers. They will probably just ask for the data and the users will hand it over in a second. For most people, it really is that simple.
