Plugin steals visitors' data

[stevenc99]

Hi,

This plugin sends visitors' data (IP address, user agent, URLs visited) to a third-party server without knowledge or consent of either the visitors, or the operator of the Wordpress site who would install this plugin:
​https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/no-comments/trunk/no-comments.php#L79

However, I don't see it available any more for download on wordpress.org, why is that?
​https://wordpress.org/plugins/no-comments/

*If* it was deleted there (e.g as potential malware), please be so kind as to leave notice of that at the plugin's original URL, instead of an unexplained 404.
