Sophos reporting Malicious Traffic Blocked C2/Generic-A URLQueryTwol

Post by tmcdanel »

Mac OS X High Sierra - Transmission v2.92

Sophos threw up an warning: Malicious Traffic Blocked C2/Generic-A URLQueryTwol

A filepath link pointed to MacOS inside Transmission

Clicking "Learn more" in the Sophos warning sent me to this address:
https://support.home.sophos.com/hc/en-u ... 5005656563

What's that about?

Mac OS X Yosemite - Transmission v2.94

I've encountered this same issue three times now, and in addition to this Sophos has "locally cleared" that same malicious traffic detection twice. Restarting Transmission seems to fix it temporarily, but this still worries me.

Any idea what's going on?

Same here, although unlike 'longtimeuser' I get it every time I restart Transmission. Worse, it keeps happening multiple times per session.
