Is ITV Kerching safe?
ITV Kerching embeds OAuth client credentials and sends signed token requests to api-partners.kindred.co.
The background service worker contains a hardcoded OAuth client secret and anonymous signing key. When requesting a partner user token, it signs a user ID and timestamp and sends the client ID, client secret, unique ID, timestamp, signature, and currency to api-partners.kindred.co/auth/connect/token.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
