I think that the place where things are downloaded from is corrupted or had a change. I doubt would the devs be using these:

123moviesgoto.com 34travel.me

I like movies but I don’t think they need to be included here. And traveling now isn’t a great idea.

I just want to say thank you for the extremely quick follow up and resolution, and glad this was just a false alarm. Sorry for my issue title - it jumped the gun a bit. …but you know, seeing “adultdeepfakes.com” in an app’s network packet will do that 😃
