FP on "BOTNET-CNC Trojan.Ransom variant outbound connection"

[Jason Haar <Jason_Haar () trimble com>]

We had a hit on this - but I don't think it's real? It was a POST (via
our proxy)  to pnrws.skype.com that had a Referer of
"res://ieframe.dll/tabswelcome.htm". The User-Agent was "Internet
Explorer" - which means it wasn't - so I'm guessing this was triggered
by some Skype installer script using a fake User-Agent for whatever reason?

I can get you the PCAP if you want, but the text is
