Temu "surprised" by the lawsuit, plans to "vigorously defend" itself.

    The claim is they completely bypass all Android and iOS security is pretty unbelievable.

    If so then the real discussion is how these zero day exploits are just sitting around.

    EDIT: It seems the focus is on Android but all the information is nonsensical, like AI generated buzzword bingo.

        That source looks better indeed.

        Ars quotes nonsense like “bypasses the security” and “exploit the user”.

        Those terms have meaning and they aren’t applicable here.

        At the end though they do say things like

        is able to hack your phone from the moment you install the app

        Without any credible evidence.
