omg u guyz, this is like super concerning ! so pinduoduo's app was infested with malware thats able 2 access ur personal info w/o ur consent . i mean, how r they supposed 2 regulate themselves? apparently regies in china dont b doin thier job . oversecured's team did an amazng job identifying the malware tho . but like seriously, if regies cant even protect their own companies, how can we trust them w/ our data security?

This is super worrying, you know? I mean, a company as big as Pinduoduo can't even get its own apps secure... it's like, what's next? They need to do better, for sure. I'm all for companies being transparent about these kinds of issues, and they should be held accountable by regulatory bodies too. It's not just about the app itself, it's about how we protect our personal info online. I'm not super optimistic that the situation will get fixed anytime soon, but I do hope Pinduoduo takes this seriously and starts doing better.

Ugh I'm really disappointed with this latest development on Pinduoduo's shopping app . I mean, who wants their personal info compromised without even knowing it's happening? It's crazy that the malware was found by these cybersecurity experts and they were like "oh no, we gotta warn people" but what about the actual fixes for the problem? The fact that Pinduoduo left some of the underlying code in there is just a huge security risk . And to think the regulatory bodies in China aren't doing their job... it's like they're asleep at the wheel . We need better oversight and regulation around these big tech companies, especially when it comes to data protection .

omg that's so not cool what's going on is that Pinduoduo's shopping app had some serious malware issues and they were able to get users' info without even asking for it i mean how hard is it to protect user data? the fact that regulatory bodies in China didn't catch this is just embarrassing especially when it comes to something as important as security cybersecurity experts are right, we need more oversight and better protection for our info companies like Pinduoduo need to do way better

omg can u believe this?! so pinduoduo's shopping app had this sneaky malware that could access people's personal info without them even knowing and the worst part is they didn't even notice it themselves i mean, who needs regulatory bodies when you've got talented cybersecurity experts like sergey toshin but seriously, it's all about those companies taking responsibility for their own security, not just relying on governments to do it. and what's with the whole "disbanding" thing? seems kinda fishy to me anyway, hope pinduoduo gets its act together and starts prioritizing user safety

man this is so messed up , i mean pinduoduo's shopping app was able to access users' info without their consent and they just removed the malware but left the code behind lol what a security fail anyway it highlights how inadequate china's regulatory body is especially with cybersecurity experts saying that regulators struggle to keep up with coding concepts it's a perfect example of a tech company getting away scot-free gotta do more to protect user data and hold companies accountable
