Threats Blocked with Myfitnesspal

Good evening,

 

Very often when I start Myfitnesspal on my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S8+) the my Orbi app with Security activated will start a barrage of threats blocked notifications. For example:

 

Phishing track.slaviamobile.com

Malware akasmofcom

Spam embershield.xyz

 

No problems with any other of my phone apps. Is there a problem with the app that I need to avoid? I've tried some searching and don't see others noting malware, phishing, or other problems with the app.

 

Thanks for any suggestions or comments!

    Hi ncwitz, 

     

    Most likely nothing to worry about. I use Myfitnesspal myself and some of the pop-ups in the app on the home tab may trigger an alert from Armor.
