Well, the call is literally empty. We decrypted it. No headers, no
IDs, nothing. Just a simple GET request to this endpoint that returns
nothing. Honestly, it looks like it is a bug.

Yup. I've had Little Snitch installed on this Mac Studio since I bought
it, and the Little Snitch Network Monitor has no record of that process
ever connecting to the internet.

Chips Loral is either extremely gullible or a simple troll. Either way,
