The remote PPTP Server/Device might have been compromised by an attacker or a worm. The device might be used by an attacker as a jump host to get access to an internal network. It also might be part of a botnet. A factory reset of the device is required. Afterwards all available updates should be applied and a strong password chosen for the device access. Please contact the vendor if further steps are required to clean up and protect the device
