M P proxycache.online.meo.pt, infected with URL:Botnet.
hello
in case you can help me.... my TV provider (MEO) , povide a livestream service, recently when I use the service (https://meogo.meo.pt/) I receive to often a message " Abortamos de forma segura a ligação em proxycache.online.meo.pt porque estava infectada com URL:Botnet" the translation to english is more o less " we safely blocked the connection to proxycache.online.meo.pt because it was infected with URL:Botnet"
the site "proxycache.online.meo.pt" is legitime, I've done some investigation and nothing found and it seems the alert is a false positive.
can be a false positive or the provider are trying get information from me ?
can anyone guive any clue about such kind of issue?
