Legitimate URLs Blocked with Recent AV Update

[PhoneBoy]

An Anti-Virus signature was recently published that caused a number of legitimate sites to be blocked, impacting gateways worldwide.

Specifically, you will see the following symptoms:

• Anti-Virus blocks legitimate traffic with DNS trap or DNS reputation logs.
• Many logs of Anti-Virus are getting created on DNS trap and DNS reputation with the protections "REP.ikjuju" and "REP.ikktgp".

Check Point has removed the relevant signature from the database. Perform the steps in the following SK to ensure the AV database is updated: Anti-Virus blocks legitimate traffic with DNS trap or DNS reputation logs

Since the impact of this was worldwide, as you stated, I'm wondering why the customers were not notified?! We were affected by this. We spent half a day on troubleshooting & fixing the issue. This would've saved us few hours on a Sunday!

Does anyone know what time Checkpoint release the fixed signature file?  Trying to finalize paperwork on this.
