Chinese Malware Apps – A Trojan Horse in Your Pocket

Temu – it offers lots of cheap goods, right? Did you bother reading the Terms of Service, and do you realize just how intrusive this app is when it comes to the rest of the data and personal information on your phone? Did you know that the Chinese government requires – by their law – Chinese companies to turn over user data upon request… and to lie about it when questioned? It’s not a stretch to say that Temu, TikTok, and many other Chinese platforms are intelligence and information-gathering tools that are being used to vacuum up vast amounts of private information about people from around the world. We’re joined this week by strategic and infrastructure intelligence expert Brian Cavanaugh, of American Global Strategies, to discuss this “trojan horse” many of you might have in your pocket right now.
