Lets Encrypt Internal Blacklist block

[jdashn 12]

As of this morning i'm getting a lot of alerts across the orginization for:

hxxp://ocsp.int-x3.letsencrypt.org/MFMwUTBPME0wSzAJBgUrDgMCGgUABBR+5mrncpqz/PiiIGRsFqEtYHEIXQQUqEpqYwR93brm0Tm3pkVl7/Oo7KECEgRY8NzrWAjZ4J4grl19QqsePQ=

For each alert the last bit of the address changes, but this part is the same:
hxxp://ocsp.int-x3.letsencrypt.org/MFMwUTBPME0wSzAJBgUrDgMCGgUABBR+5mrncpqz/PiiIGRsFqEtYHEIXQQUqEpqYwR93brm0Tm3pkVl7/Oo7KECEg

They all also have a target address of :

104.91.166.211

Just wondering if there is more information on this, what might be causing it, if this is an indicator of a primary infection, etc.

 

Thank you!!

Same here. One of the applications I use for a long time obviously tries to validate a letsencrypt certificate via OCSP. Looks like a false entry has made it to the internal ESET blacklist.

The FP should be already resolved. You can enforce update of the blacklist by rebooting the machine.

Same problem here.  Either X-Plane 11 or some plug-in for it attempts to contact "...ocsp.int-x3.letsencrypt.org..." but gets blocked by ESET Internet Security.

Must be recent change as I've not changed X-Plane for several weeks.
