- Just started seeing this as well, this morning around 01:00AM EST. Blocked 6 attempts stating malware. 3 were from my phone which I wasn't using at the time and 3 were from "Compal information streaming de" so a Chinese made streaming device based on my quick Google search on it.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated!I received more than 20 attempts to access "https://androidpay-users-pa.googleapis.com/" AFTER I had been on TikTok. The app was closed, no browsers open at the time. The attempts were made from 2am-5am Eastern Std time.
- I'm seeing the same and coming up empty. It's only attempting to connect from one of two pixel phones in my household. I'm assuming it is related to a specific app, but would be great if someone can confirm what it is and if it is indeed malicious.
I'm seeing the same messages starting overnight.
It is unclear whether this is a valid alert for a real problem or an error in the malware detection logic being used by Netgear.
If someone from Netgear could please investigate and comment that would be appreciated.
I agree. It seems they updated something last night that triggered this. All I can find online is that it is the Google Pay api but cannot tell if something had been hijacked.
