Warning: Your Temu App Might Be Accessing ‘Everything’ On Your Phone
A lawsuit filed against Temu claims the company’s app “gains access to literally everything on your phone.” So you might want to be careful with Temu.
The class action lawsuit — filed on behalf of more than a dozen plaintiffs in Massachusetts, California, Illinois, New York, and Virginia – accuses Temu of “purposely and intentionally” hiding malware and spyware in its app, as well as “deceiving” customers about how the company uses their data.
According to Fox News 4, the complaint also alleges that the online marketplace is “dangerous” because it avoids phone security systems to read a user’s private messages and can track notifications.
Officials with the Chinese company, which has been in business since September 2022, have not yet reacted to the suit.
What problems have you had with Temu? My wife has used it on several occasions. So far so good. But you never know what it is doing internally to steal your information. So you might want to think twice before using the site.
Astrologer Says These Zodiac Signs Never Charge Their Phones
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Bell said that Aquarius is often forgetful and is likely to have high screen time. “They forget about the practical things in life, like charging their phone or bringing a portable charger around with them,” says Bell.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
According to astrologer Bell, Aries has the “impulsiveness and tendency to act before [you] think” which makes it easy for you to forget to charge your phone before leaving the house.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Sagittarius’ “carefree and optimistic approach to life” can make it easy for the sign to forget to plug in their phone at the end of the day. “They’re too busy traversing the universe to think about charging their phone,” says Bell.
