In a yesterday's publication, we informed all Popcorn Time friends that they released a new app through Reddit.
This version of Popcorn Time contains one or two changes:
1. Change YTS with TorrentsAPI and
2. Change the provider for TV series from EZTVApi with a custom API
The new client seems to accidentally use one of the new APIs:

https://mi2i2dospijuauxa.onion.to/
https://popcornwvnbg7jev.onion.to/
https://www.popcorntime.ws/api/eztv/
As observed, these are encrypted .onion addresses
