[sniffer] FPs on Sniffer-Schemes
Hi Pete, We're seeing a ton of FPs on a Sniffer-Schemes rule # 4764784. Darin.
[sniffer] Re: FPs on Sniffer-Schemes
More info... Started getting hits at 4:30pm EST up to 15 minutes ago (5:25pm EST). Not sure if the rule has been pulled or corrected yet. Had 383 hits, and a very high percentage of those were FPs. Don't have an exact number, due to having to release the messages quickly for delivery, but I expect at least 30% were FPs for us. Most were referencing PO #s or orders for various customers.

You should not be seeing any additional hits on that rule.

It was corrected nearly as soon as it was created. It did escape into some rulebases - we saw that on our conflict instrument. Most systems auto-panicked the rule right away. It no longer appears on our conflict instruments - so there is no reason you should see any hits from it. I'm chasing things down to see what I can see -- based on your message.

I do not have telemetry from your system (based on looking up your Id from your domain). I suspect this means that you are running an older version of SNF. By extension, that would mean a couple of things: * Your rulebase update would not come as quickly as for most systems. * Your SNF engine won't match on many of the newer rules. * Your SNF engine will not have GBUdb and also will not be able to auto-panic new rules that conflict with IP reputation data. Am I right about these assumptions? If not, then we should figure out why I don't see your telemetry.
