When a computer (PC A) becomes infected within the network of a telecom company (Tele A), it is flagged as a potential risk. If PC A attempts to launch an attack on another computer (PC B) within the network of a different telecom company (Tele B), PC B’s firewall detects the malicious traffic and reports the attempted breach.
Tele B then notifies Tele A that PC A has been involved in an attack. In response, Tele A wraps all future traffic from PC A in a labeled data package indicating it has been reported for involvement in attacks. This process ensures that PC A’s activity is flagged for awareness without disrupting normal network traffic.
