asked on 

User accessing excessive website with no HTTP access ?

Hi All,

Due to excessive usage of a certain website, I've got some warning from my Security Team regarding the below website:

yqflpa.bay.livefilestore.com 354.96 GB  
yqflpa.by3301.livefilestore.com 104.39 GB  
yqflpa.by3302.livefilestore.com 96.04 GB  
secure.transfer.redsourceinteractive.com 55.16 GB  
lym3uw.bay.livefilestore.com  32.4 GB  

In total since last week, I've been consuming 642.95 GB of web traffic from the top website above ?

As per my understanding, my OneDrive is only 15 GB but how come I was using that much of a bandwidth in the past 7 days.
This one website secure.transfer.redsourceinteractive.com is also a mystery to me as I do not know what it is used for.

I must admit that I never closed my Google Chrome Browsers and shutdown my PC so it is always on 24 hours.

It's a valid site that provides a service that you use, so it'll only cause trouble to block it. Quite possibly EE itself won't work for anyone that blocks it. You use the service by displaying web pages that rely on it, e.g., the page that you are reading this comment on.

Ah I see,

But howcome it is consuming more than 58 GB weekly under my own username ?

I'm under investigation this week by my Security Manager and HR team :-| for possible information breach.

ok, after closing the browser which opens up this website (EE) and stopping OneDrive usage, I can see that the traffic is no more :-)

However, I can see new problem arise:

0.client-channel.google.com  18.32 GB

It is now Google syphoning my data in the background.
