  • Introduction to Video Content
  • In a recent report published by Grizzly Research, serious allegations have been made against Chinese e-commerce giant PDD and its popular shopping app Timu. The report claims that PDD is a fraudulent and dying company, and that Timu is actually cleverly disguised spyware posing a security threat to U.S. national interests. Grizzly Research alleges that Timu operates at a loss in order to collect personal information from its users and sell this data to third parties. While many companies engage in similar practices, the ties between Timu and China might attract increased regulatory scrutiny. Following the report, PDD shares lost about 5% of their value. Timu, however, remains the top downloaded free app on the App Store, with over 50 million downloads. With its widespread use, it is important to consider the potential risks for Timu users. In this article, we will delve into the allegations made by Grizzly Research and discuss the implications for Timu users. We are also joined by Sigi Eggert, the CEO of Grizzly Research, who will provide further insight into the claims and their potential impact. Stay tuned to learn more about this controversial issue.
  • Subtitles section
  • Short seller betting a stock will falls taking aim at Chinese e-commerce giant pin PDD.
  • Now you've probably never heard of PDD, but you may have heard of its former name Pinduoduo.
  • It is a giant in China.
  • It's worth more than $100 billion.
  • And here in America it operates the wildly popular shopping app Timu, which offers very low prices on a variety of unbranded products made in China.
  • But things may not be all that they seem.
  • Grizzly Research published a scathing report today, which alleges that PDD is actually, quote, a dying, fraudulent company and its shopping app Timu is cleverly hidden spyware that poses an urgent security threat to U.S. national interests.
  • Specifically, Grizzly alleges that Timu operates at a loss in part so it can collect all kinds of personal information on you, and then turn around and sell that data to third parties.
  • Now, many companies, of course, do that.
  • But Grizzly believes that Timu might attract increased regulatory scrutiny given its ties to China.
  • PDD shares selling off after the report losing about 5% today.
  • We, of course, reached out to PDD for comment.
  • We have not heard back.
  • Of course, they're just waking up, for the most part, out in Asia.
  • Now we checked and Timu is still the top downloaded free app on the App Store.
  • In fact, it's been downloaded over 50 million times.
  • So chances are you've used it or you know someone who does.
  • So how concerned should you be if you are a Timu user?
  • Joining us now is the CEO of Grizzly Research, that is Sigi Eggert.
  • Sigi, it's good to have you on in the program.
  • You call Timu the most dangerous malware slash spyware package currently in widespread circulation.
  • Back up those claims.
  • Thank you for having me, Brian.
  • So we spent a ton of money, time and effort on analyzing this app in depth, taking everything apart and we found a bunch of very concerning factors, but I think most notably we found the presence of self-compiling software.
  • What this essentially means is that they can install any program on your phone once you download the Timu app and consequently they can access your credit card records.
  • If you have a banking app on your phone, they can access your bank records.
  • They can read all the text messages you ever sent.
  • This is extremely concerning in our opinion.
  • Okay, so you use the term self-compiling software and again we reached out to PDD, but I want to be clear on what you are alleging.
  • If one of our viewers or listeners downloads Timu, they probably don't read the terms of service or maybe that's not listed in them.
  • Timu then can install other software you don't even know about on your phone to do things like read your text messages?
  • That's exactly what I'm saying, Brian.
  • You got it exactly right and the worst part about it is they're also circumventing by the way that they do it they're circumventing any malware detection that your phone usually would have and that would be usually caught by your phone,
  • But they're circumventing that through a mechanism.
  • The data selling business, as we tried to allude to in the intro, Siggy is nothing new.
  • Everywhere you go on the internet, they track you, they sell your data, you just got to know it.
  • What do you think aside from kind of what you just said makes this data collection a different level?
  • In fact, maybe not just I'm going to harvest your data and sell it to somebody else that can try to sell you a magazine, but a threat?
  • Yes, that is a legit question.
  • I think the first thing that I would say is it really relates to the first part that I mentioned.
  • They're illegally stealing any type of data that you could have, so that in itself like stealing data is illegal in the first place and of course is turning around and selling it.
  • I think the other concern is that Temu is a very, very quickly growing app in the Western world.
  • They're spending aggressively on advertising on all different kinds of campaigns to get as many app downloads as possible.
  • For example, bought a Super Bowl halftime advertisement this year and you got to wonder why someone would buy a Super Bowl halftime advertisement to sell you a pair of pants for $8.99.
  • Siggy, have you talked to anybody in the US government about this?
  • Yes, we are in active conversations with a range of regulatory agencies and we think we're talking with relevant decision makers there and offering our resources actively to alleviate the issue.
