After collaborating with security engineers at several companies that were sending this modified traffic, we determined that the computers exhibiting this behavior were infected with a particular strain of malware. We put a program into place to tell users who were infected and to direct them to tools that could help them remove the malware.
Baada ya kushirikiana na wahandisi wa usalama katika kampuni kadhaa ambazo zilikuwa zikituma trafiki hii iliyobadilishwa, tulibaini kuwa kompyuta zilizokuwa zikionyesha tabia hii zilikuwa zimeathiriwa na aina fulani ya programu hasidi. Tuliweka programu ya kuwaambia watumiaji waliokuwa wameathiriwa na kuwaelekeza kwenda kwa zana ambazo zingeweza kuwasaidia kuondoa programu hiyo hasidi.
