can't speak to whether the other site
connected to is malicious. If youre investigating network activity that seems
unusual; then you may want to focus on the connection that started just before the connection to
lencr.org

only retrieve subsets of it; or "cache" some data for efficiency, so theyIl only access it sometimes (the
time they need it,
