Since a few days I have the following message in the FW logfiles: URL Blocking - > Botnet URL -> ocsp.pki.goog/gsr1/MFEwTzBNMEswSTAJBgUr -> Threat Category -> Malicious Sites.
Once per day, do I need to worry that there is a botnet running or is this harmless?

    Looks like you have got a false positive there, at least as long as you can trust Google and the USA.

    (Note: your URL contains the part "MFEwTzBNMEswSTAJBgUr" which is likely only an individual key for a specific event or computer access, not necessarily anything compromising.)

    Thank you for your explanation, so that means I can ignore this message.
    Should this URL be whitelisted by the firewall or not change it?

    Hi @Vagabound,
    The URL  ocsp.pki.goog(pki-goog.l.google.com) has been corrected to to Software/Hardware,Technical Information category.
    Please have a check. =)

    Thank you for your feedback.

    The URL ocsp.pki.goog(pki-goog.l.google.com) no longer appears in the blocklist as far as I can see.

    But now a lot of these are in the log file:

    e1.o.lencr.org -> Phishing -> 77.109.138.73 -> ACCESS BLOCK
    x1.c.lencr.org -> Phishing ->104.79.24.135 -> ACCESS BLOCK

    It seems that the problem with the URL ocsp.pki.goog(pki-goog.l.google.com) is not fixed after all. Just now another log message -> alert -> url-threat-filter -> ACCESS BLOCK -> ocsp.pki.goog: -> Malicious Sites.


  • same as Vagabound
    lots of x1.c.lencr.org:Phishing the past few days
    destination IP: 23.217.185.252;104.108.45.242;104.93.207.219;104.82.150.7

    Yes, I think Zyxel has a problem there.
    I am in contact with the support, but so far no solution. Maybe there is still something coming.

    I will do this as soon as I get a message from the support to solve the problem. Unfortunately, I have not read anything from support for three days. Seems to be a complex problem.

    Hi @Vagabound, and @raph_soc,
    Both URL https://e1.o.lencr.org  and https://ocsp.pki.goog/ are in correct category now.
    As for URL https://x1.c.lencr.org, it is still in Phishing category, we are working on it.
    It may need to take 3-5 business days, will update status once it is in correct category.

    https://ocsp.pki.goog/ 

    https://e1.o.lencr.org
