    Advanced Threat Protection

    A threat has been detected in your network The source IP/host listed below was found to communicate with a potentially malicious site outside your company.

    Details about the alert:

    I look in my logs to find hundreds of entries:
     
    2015:04:30-16:00:42 ulogd[13308]: id="2022" severity="info" sys="SecureNet" sub="packetfilter" name="Packet dropped (ATP)" action="drop" fwrule="63001" initf="eth0.173" threatname="C2/Generic-A" srcmac="00:0d:c5:XX:XX:XX" dstmac="00:15:17:XX:XX:XX" srcip="10.10.160.229" dstip="8.8.8.8" proto="17" length="65" tos="0x00" prec="0x00" ttl="64" srcport="39325" dstport="53"

    10.10.160.229 : 56216 
     → 
    8.8.8.8 : 53 
     drop 


    I count at least 8 devices, different subnets, even different vlans setting off this alert.  I don't recall anything that I have changed recently.

    Any ideas?
