Active Armor Reports Malicious Traffic While Using The Active Armor App

When I use the Active Armor app and return to the first page, a popup alerts me that "Malicious Traffic was blocked" from within the app. This message appears every time I go back to the first page. What does this mean?

Sorry, I don't know why the video I included isn't working.

Hi David,

I spoke with an AT&T support rep who helped me out. After closing all of the apps that I had opened, the notifications stopped. This has inspired me to keep an eye out for when it starts to happen again. If it does, I will test to see if I can find the app that is causing the issue. If I do, I'll report back with my findings.

Thank you,

Max
