Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems are described whereby a server can forward a request from a device behind a NAT router to a system to determine if the request is suspicious. A server can receive a message via a network device, such as a NAT router, disposed at a location. The message can originate from one of a plurality of computing devices located downstream of the network device. The server can determine that the message originated from a compromised device and transmit a signal to facilitate execution of a first process on the computing devices located downstream from the compromised device, wherein, upon execution, the first process is configured to compare information located in a local storage of the computing device with a predetermined list of domains.
