When I performed a search on VirusTotal only Fortinet and Forcepoint marked that hostname as suspicious.

    I'm not quite sure what you're asking?

     

    The host name in the logs is the domain name (imp.onesearch.org), without any additional URL part after it.  In this case, the URL is just the root anyway ("/"), but URL could be "/Support/Videos" or the like.

     

    The possibly compromised host has IP 10.80.6.135 in your lan.  Normally IOC doesn't flag a host as compromised for hitting a few malicious websites, so you may want to check the logs to see if there has been other activity.

     

    If you think the website has been incorrectly categorized, you can request they re-evalute it from your FortiGates System > FortiGuard page.

    The logs are implying the site "imp.onesearch.org" is flagged is Malicious - Looking it up in ForiGuard the site is indeed flagged as such.  But it may be referring to "onesearch.org" as malicious rather than "imp.onesearch.org" - they do resolve into different IP addresses. 

     

    A google search on the domain does imply a malicious intend, as a browser hijacking. 

     

    Further research would be needed.  If "imp.onesearch.org" is legit, you may want to submit a review.  Alternately, you could always reclassifiy the site with an local rating override, but do assess the risk.
