We’re building a Angular 1.x app with Bootstrap components. We recently added Sentry debugging to site and just got this error:
‘PAPADDINGXXPADDINGPADDINGXXPADDINGPADDINGXXPADDINGPADDINGXXPADDINGPADDINGXXPADDINGPADDINGX’ is undefined
browser = IE 11.0
device = Other
level = error
logger = javascript
os = Windows 8.1Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; .NET4.0E; .NET4.0C; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; InfoPath.3; MDDCJS; rv:11.0) like Gecko
I found a couple of references on Twitter but nothing else. Anyone seen this before? How can I fix this?

That’s probably a malware works, mostly reported on windows platform. As you can see from the question, comments and from the internet; all reported for windows systems. According to few malicious activity logging/analysis/reporting service (see ref links below); the malware writes/ends the file with a series of “PADDINGPADDINGXX” strings.

This is a speculative answer. But I intend this to be a resource collection of links pointing towards understanding this issue. Feel free to improve this!
All of this leads me to believe that this occurs when memory is allocated, but not utilised. So in your case IE spaghetti code must have picked up some of this.
