MOUNTAIN VIEW, California – Google has suspended PDD Holdings’ main Chinese shopping app Pinduoduo after discovering malware in unsanctioned versions of the software, dealing a blow to one of China’s biggest online retailers.
Google warned users on Tuesday to uninstall off-store versions of Pinduoduo. It was unclear whether other local app stores run by Huawei Technologies, Xiaomi and Tencent Holdings were looking into the allegations. Code from previous versions of the app on GitHub show malware present, said Mr Shawn Chang, founder and chief executive of Hong Kong-based security firm HardenedVault, who was aware of the industry talk but has not examined the software in detail or spoken with PDD.
