WiFiTask.exe

Copper Contributor

I observed traffic towards https://cache.datamart.windows.com from a Windows 10 Machine.

The used user agent captured was “Microsoft!WiFiTask_File_Downloader” and have no information on the official website of the Microsoft.

 

On further analysis i found wifitask.exe generating this traffic which is a background service.

 

Also after analyzing wifitask.exe in "https://www.hybrid-analysis.com" i found the “Microsoft!WiFiTask_File_Downloader” in the strings.

Can any one please help me understand,

 

1. Why wifitask.exe is generating traffic towards https://cache.datamart.windows.com?

2. Why “Microsoft!WiFiTask_File_Downloader” is captured as User Agent in logs?
