Weird!! Windows Explorer try to connect to a server ?
Source Reddit Cybersecurity
Discussion
A Reddit user observed that Windows Explorer makes multiple requests to the domain a1666.dscr.akamai.net. The user is concerned about why Windows Explorer would connect to an external server, especially since it is expected to work offline. The user also inquired about preventing such requests. There is no detailed technical analysis or vendor advisory provided. The domain appears related to Akamai, a content delivery network, and a ChatGPT response suggested these requests might be normal for content delivery purposes. No evidence of malicious activity or exploitation is presented.
