    Yeah, it is. It’s such an extraordinary claim.

    One requiring extraordinary evidence that wasn’t provided.

    “It’s doing amazing hacks to access everything and it’s so good at it it’s undetectable!” Right, how convenient.

      Libmanwe-lib.so is a library file in machine language (compiled). A Google search reveals that it is exclusively mentioned in the context of PDD software—all five search results refer to PDD’s apps. According to this discussion on GitHub, “the malicious code of PDD is protected by two sets of VMPs (manwe, nvwa)”. Libmanwe is the library to use manwe.

      An anonymous user uploaded a decompiled version of libmanwe-lib to GitHub. It reads like it is a list of methods to encrypt, decrypt or shift integer signals, which fits the above description as a VMP for the sake of hiding a program’s purpose.

      In plain words, TEMU’s app employed a PDD proprietary measure to hide malicious code in an opaque bubble within the application’s executables

        So wait, bit-shifting some integers is now considered being malicious? Is that really the defense here? Using that definition just about all software in existence is malicious.

        I don’t believe his claims without evidence, but having a legit cover for nefarious acts is pretty standard, no?

        Why steal their money when they can both get them to give their money as well data to also sell?
