Hi,

 

Seeing this on our firewall for a few users.

 

"sync.console.adtarget.com.tr"

 

Firewall lists it as malware, threat name CnC, detect method infected 192.168.0.1 domain. It appears to be tracking perhaps? Anyone familiar with it? I am pushing full antivirus 10.0.0.1 scan on all systems, and ran malwarebytes on at least one system that was detected with this, and scans 192.168.l.l found nothing.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi decula,

     

    according to FortiGuard it seems to be seen as advertising / general interest kind of sites since 2019.

    At least their 3rd level domain check went this way.

     

    Details in :

    Should you have any evidence about any malicious activities, kindly let us know.
