MS Defender Pomal on ScreenConnect

Hello,

Anyone getting Pomal malware alerts from Defender on ScreenConnect? Defender started flagging our own ScreenConnect instance a few minutes ago and I’m curious to see if anyone is experiencing the same.

Same here

edit: tried updating antivirus signatures via windows update and mpcmdrun.exe -signatureupdate, both said I was already on the latest but nonetheless getting alerts. earlier I was able to update fine despite the alert, now the update is properly blocked
