An Important Message from Time Warner Cable Security Operations about Botnet Activity Dear Time Warner Cable Customer,
Please be aware that Time Warner Cable has detected signs of botnet traffic being transmitted from a device connected to the cable modem on your Time Warner Cable Internet connection.

We recommend that you take steps to clean and secure both your computer(s)and your wireless device(s) to prevent your devices being used by malicious third parties without your knowledge. Please note that this computer may not be the infected device if you have other computers on your home network.
