When I click on the Security tile I see no "Threats Blocked", but there is a "Network Security" and when I tap on "See more" it says "6 threats detected & blocked" but I don't see a list of URLs.

I don't have armor anymore but there's a way within the app to see whats blocked. You might have to click on the threats seen

Still not seeing any URLs.
Here's what I'm doing:
1. Launch Nighthawk
2. Tap "Security & Support"
3. Tap "Threats detected and blocked" under "Your network is protected"
4. On the "Threats" page there's a list of "Malicious_host"s found
5. If I click on one of the "Malicious_host"s I get a "Threat Blocked" page
6. I see no URLs. If I click on "Learn More" all it says is "Malicious_host" and "OK"
I would REALLY like to know what this app is blocking!
