What is hwcdn.libsyn.com?

[Something_Incredible]

I just tried to download the drivers for the Xbox One controller, and when I click on the download link, it asks me "Do you want to download this file from hwcdn.libsyn.com?" What is that? I've done a lot of Google searching but have turned up nothing.

Libsyn is apparently a podcast hosting service. The "hwcdn" most likely stands for a Content Delivery Network.

In other words, where are you downloading it from? Likely it's a bad source.

I'm downloading it straight from xbox.com.

Okay, I'd run a full scan after downloading it too. Also, thanks for your help!

VirusTotal.com reports that 0 out of 52 scanners found it malicious. I'd say go ahead.

It sounds like a content delivery service.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like it, for example steams game manuals are stored on Akamais servers I believe. E.g cdn akamai

Alright, I'll give it a go, but I'm still doing a full scan afterwards. And thanks again!

Ok. Always good to be a little paranoid! No problem.
