IP address and grindr misdirection
I am aware of at least 4 IP addresses which seem to take an app user to a Grindr impersonation website and also then causes phone device compromise (mobile-data.onetrust.io). This can lead to coercive controlling behaviours by those running the pretend Grindr
Grindr.mobi resolves to 104.17.140.120 and 104.17.139.120 and web.Grindr.com 104.16.234.5 and 104.16.235.5
Grindrx.com resolves to 15.197.142.173 and 3.33.152.147. None of these are correct and if the device’s dns is poisoned then misdirection occurs. Serious organised crime seem to use this to recruit modern day slaves and criminals also use the lack of any oversight to prevent men enjoying themselves (sexually) and a homophobic environment
Grindr.uservoice.com has 5 IP addresses!
104.17.31.92 104.17.28.92 104.17.30.92 104.17.27.92 and 104.17.29.92
Look for these IPs and URLs in the app privacy report of an iPhone
This needs law enforcement’s attention as not only is it damaging Grindr Inc reputation but harming the men that fall prey to the crime gangs

If proxy server fraud coexists there will be ARP cache poisoning of the device leading to wrong dns results
