Multiple RTP detection over last few days.

[concernedboi]

As the title says i have gotten these random rtp detections while just browsing youtube or playing games with friends in the evening. Some seem to be the same while others are different. I havent downloaded anything new or been using new sites since i built this pc, so i am curious if these have just been false positives or if they are something to be concerned about. Both MB threat scan, adwcleaner, and windows protection scans all show no threats detected it is just the real time protection notifying me of these. Any help or insight on the issue is greatly appreciated.

Hello @concernedboi

These are all INBOUND IP blocks. Malwarebytes is doing it's job. Inbound probing is normal and would require a router or perimeter firewall to block such probes.

If you own your own router and are not renting it from your Internet Service Provider, you can look at doing a factory reset and adding blocking to the firewall portion of the router if it's supported.

 

 

Please ensure that you have the user manual for your router. Then perform a factory reset. NOTE: Do Not reset the router if you don't own it.

Depending on one's preferences and the Router's capabilities please consider the following.

• Disable acceptance of ICMP Pings
• Change the Default Router password using a Strong Password
• Use a Strong WiFi password on WPA2  using AES encryption or Enable WPA3 if it is an option.
• Disable Remote Management
• Create separate WiFi networks for groups of devices with similar purposes to prevent an entire network of devices from being compromised if a malicious actor is able to gain unauthorized access to one device or network. Example: Keep IoT devices on one network and mobile devices on another.
• Change the network name (SSID).  Do not use your; Name, Postal address, or other personal information.  Make it unique or whimsical and known to your family/group.
• Is the Router Firmware up-to-date?  Updating the firmware mitigates exploitable vulnerabilities.
• Specifically set Firewall rules to BLOCK;   TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139, 445, 1234, 3389 and 5555
• Document passwords created and store them in a safe but accessible location.
