Windows 8 Pro - Problem with Foreign connections
Our data center has expanded to more clients. Obtain and added 50 Windows 8 Pro machines to our network.
For some reason all 50 machine are experiencing foreign connections. The machince had been taken offline since this problem has been going on for the last few weeks. There is no unauthorized program installed. It is a refresh install of Windows 8 Pro. The network connections seems to originated from countries that we do not do business with.
Only reason we found this is that there was a honeypot of data set up to detect unauthorized access. It seems other data have not been compromises.
All other machines running Windows Xp are not impacted. Have added 25 virutal machines to take over the removal of the 50 machines.
The network traffic has increased by about 70% when these machines were added. All firewalls settings are running normal. Even adding the address to the IP filter block has not slow this down and it seems new connections are occuring.
What other steps can be take to control this or get this machines back online to do work?
