Pretty scary/shocking if this is true
Also from the lawsuit:
>App store security scans don't flag Temu's risks, the complaint alleged, because Temu can "change its own code once it has been downloaded to a user’s phone"—which means it's essentially able to transform into malware once it is past the security checkpoint.
