ERROR - "Sophos Firewall detected malicious traffic: 'C2/Generic-C' at 'C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe' (Technica..."

Paul Dunn

I am getting the error status on 1 or 2 computers each day 

"Sophos Firewall detected malicious traffic: 'C2/Generic-C' at 'C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe' (Technica..."

What is this?

    Hey Paul,

    did you find something? We are getting this error on some computers here too. I found the URL which is responsible for the threat: "sync.header.direct".

    Is it the same for you?

    I'm not that knowledgeable about domains. Is this a safe domain and the Sophos popup wrong?

     

    Kind regards

    Marc

    Hi Marc,

    We are getting the exact same reports as you are across multiple machines all to the URL "sync.header.direct" It just started out of the blue a week or so ago and no matter what I try I cant confirm that it is actually malicious and not a false positive.

    Have you heard back from Sophos?

    Thanks

    Steve
