Norton 360 is blocking a computer "xxnn:nx::nnxn:nnnn:xnx:xnnn" from accessing "identityservicesd" and asks if I want to allow this. The computer "name" appears to be similar to an IPV6 address (I substituted "x" for a letter and "n" for a number). On my Mac, "identityservicesd" deals with 3rd party credentials.
I have a Macbook Pro 16" (2019) running latest version of Ventura (13.3.1).
Anyone else experiencing this and have a solution?
Hello Steve. These articles may give you an idea about what others in the MAC community are seeing in this regard. Note: I am NOT a MAC owner nor user, I AM trying to assist at the greatest level possible. The MAC boards are seriously ignored here on the forums.

* Could you please post a screenshot of the actual pop-up message for us to review? The service identityservicesd can be triggered by several different things so seeing what you are seeing would be immensely helpful.
Here is how to post a screenshot.

This also occurs for me when I try using the "Find My" app on my macbook, with Norton 360 installed. I have checked the devices connected to my wireless router and none of them have an IPv6 address similar to the one presented in the popup. I basically block it and try to see what complains.
Wondering if it would be possible to get an explanation from the experts here? That would help ease my mind.
