TEMU & Other Scam Call Centers: Memory Injection Attacks and Data Exploitation

This project investigates and documents firsthand evidence of sophisticated memory injection attacks tied to the TEMU shopping platform and its associated scam call centers. These attacks result in unauthorized account takeovers, data theft, and social engineering abuses that cause profound harm beyond financial loss.

Many users unknowingly risk losing vital personal data—including irreplaceable photos, music projects, and academic work—due to malware hidden in seemingly cheap devices or triggered during customer service interactions. These attacks have real human consequences: students fail exams, individuals face financial ruin, and trust in digital platforms erodes.

The project also highlights the disturbing reality revealed in the film Bee Keeper, illustrating how call center scams systematically destroy people’s lives through deception and exploitation. By exposing these tactics, this work calls for greater transparency, consumer protections, and a collective stand against such fraudulent operations.

Deliverables include detailed spoken narration scripts explaining the attack mechanics, cleanup and recovery guides, and prevention advice, empowering users to reclaim their digital safety and dignity.
