Based on our First Seen URLs page, we started seeing more requests for 'beacon.http-get' these last few days. The requests are going back a while now but have been increasing.

At this point, I have no idea what they could be looking for. Maybe some backdoor installed on systems? Command and Control servers (something Cobalt Strike like?). 

Many requests originate from the 162.19/16 subnet. Here is a summary by /24s with more than ten hits yesterday. There are 19 /24s originating the traffic (and a total of 63 different IP addresses). 169.19/17 appears to be owned by OVH, and no specific detailed assignment information is available.

Source /24 Count
162.19.93.0/24 69
162.19.92.0/24 41
162.19.50.0/24 17
162.19.55.0/24 16
162.19.53.0/24 16
162.19.54.0/24 13
162.19.51.0/24 12
135.125.88.0/24 10

All requests appear to use the same user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0).

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
