    1. Dynamic compilation using runtime.exec(). A cryptically named function in the source code calls for “package compile”, using runtime.exec(). This means a new program is created by the app itself.—Compiling is the process of creating a computer executable from a human-readable code. The executable created by this function is not visible to security scans before or during installation of the app, or even with elaborate penetration testing. Therefore, TEMU’s app could have passed all the tests for approval into Google’s Play Store, despite having an open door built in for an unbounded use of exploitative methods. The local compilation even allows the software to make use of other data on the device that itself could have been created dynamically and with information from TEMU’s servers.






  • To my knowledge it’s global, not just specific areas, however the levels vary. In the Midwest (USA) it’s quite common to perform radon tests during a home sale, and homes with basements will frequently have a ‘radon mitigation’ system installed; basically a large fan draws the air out of the space beneath your concrete slab and air-tight plastic is installed in crawl spaces to form a negative pressure so the airborne radon is pulled out before it enters the home, and then exhausted up above the roof line to blow away like other exhaust from HVAC and appliances.

    Have a system installed in my home to keep levels as low as possible, even though it tested below the ‘dangerous’ threshold when I purchased. (Better safe than sorry).
