rm: cannot remove ‘GE-Proton*.*’: No such file or directory
I think I just found the issue, found a log entry at the same time in the firewall blocking “objects.githubusercontent.com” the malware filter pulling rules from URLhaus was causing the block, stating the IP was a Phishing address, I put a temporary hold on this and reran the update on Ark and it went through immediately and is now up and running.
Will dig a little deeper in the Firewall logs and report back any findings, may help others in future.
*** Update: IP Address being flagged on return is 45.128.232.165 pointing to ISP PFCloud, reporting Geofeed Tampering, cant see how the AMP Ark Update resulted in this and is more than likely caused upstream and not as a direct implication of AMP, however what is clear is on request for the Proton update this IP was injected on return and is Phishing and as a result the entire connection is immediately closed and blocked resulting in all associated IP’s being blocked including the legitimate ones until cleared. To resolve I removed the blocks and retried, checked the logs and noticed the IP is no longer present in the return traffic leading me to suspect the issue was detected upstream, blocked at that point thus resolving the issue. As such for any who may come across a similar issue, take specific note of the time in the AMP logs and correlate back to your level 2 firewall logs and this may help you resolve the issue.
