Data packets going to porn sites

@betterlate1 Why would I do that?
-
@Pangloss You brought up the topic.
@betterlate1 I sure didn't.

@Pangloss Think it started with player one then you commented so thought you had problem too
sorry@betterlate1 No worries...

Hi Player did you try emptying out your cache to maybe stop it from happening
-
@lexulous Downloaded from the PlayStore on all 3 devices.
@player_one We've checked and are unable to locate any such malware or activity in our code base. If you continue to see such activity we recommend that you contact Google Play Store directly and share the information you have with them. They will be able to investigate better and provide you or us with additional information that may lead to the source. We would be more than happy to fix if it is from our end indeed.

@betterlate1 I did, but I've a feeling it had stopped this behaviour earlier. I'll investigate later when I can get to my other phone and will get back to you. But thanks for your input.

@lexulous Could you confirm for me if it is more likely that the packets identified are being pulled from my device or pushed?
-
@betterlate1 Yeah sadly it's still happening. Don't know how to attach a screenshot into the forum, but I've just seen another 2 porn sites appear. But clearing the cache was worth a shot, cheers.

@player_one our engineers would need access to your vpn logs and your device to test. At this stage you should contact Google Play Store with your findings in detail. They should have more information.
@lexulous I have reported it to Google Play store, but sadly not had a reply so not sure what else we can do. Uninstalling seems severe, but there's clearly something going wrong somewhere.
It's happening via mobile data and wireless, to 3 devices, so not likely a 'man in the middle' injection and it happens despite the version being run.
Clearing the cache didn't do anything.
Do you have a log of traffic between my devices and the lexulous servers? -

@player_one sorry
-
@player_one sorry
@betterlate1 No worries, we'll get there... Just need to find someone else with tech ability to install a VPN...
Cheers for your input though. -
Good morning.
Has anyone else noticed a huge jump in the Data Usage following updates to Lexulous.
I was investigating why my data usage for the Android app went from 200+Mb per month, to over 2Gb.
I installed a VPN to help investigate the cause, that's when I discovered that there were data packets being sent to various porn sites.
Wondered if any other users also encountered the same issue.@player_one Here's an example of the sites contacted.

@player_one These screenshots are not helpful to anyone. They also do not show how the sites are linked with the Lexulous app. Once again requesting you to take your complaint to Google so that you may get the proper resolution.
@lexulous I respectfully disagree. They are helpful in several ways. Firstly they prove that there is communication between the app and the websites. They also demonstrate the quantity of communications made (this may be the cause of the level of data used). It also serves to show others what is happening in case they themselves wish to check to see if this is also happening on their devices.
