In the tagged thread, a user reports unexplained firewall alerts triggered by accessing an XLS file on a web server, with the web application firewall (WAF) flagging the activity as a LOIC attack.

This tag is relevant for users investigating false positive WAF alerts, LOIC attack detection, and security monitoring on Windows-based web servers.
