There are multiple posts going back 5 days of people asking about it. Check closed issues too, the dev even responded to some of them by saying it's only a false positive.
Not the whole code but only the part that triggers those flags. Not everyone is versed in C to "verify the code" himself... That's a stupid take, It's like saying to a toddler to change his diapers on his own when it's dirty.
Strangely enough It went from 1 trigger to 29 triggers after 1 update? Seems rather sketchy :/ In the past (pirated games/software) I would have ignored those warnings and add an exception into my firewall... But nowadays with all the crypto schemes and obfuscated code, I won't go near anything like that.
I guess it's all a question of point of view and reference point. 💁 I can't argue against your opinion on the other side.
I do agree though that from this point of view it also make sense.
I said that to indicate that the dev had already responded to the posts, and they were not in a different time zone or on vacation, as you suggested in another comment.
