Firewall

I just purchased norton firewall because I was hacked a while back. I swear! since I bought it I have received about 50 attempts by others to get into my system via a "trojan horse/backdoor" attack. Mostly from germany.

Re:Firewall

yep. trojans are sooo easy to use now, every little kiddy is trying it. 99% of the time they wont get anywhere but the firewall will show there IP and the port they are trying.

You should see the reports for our webservers - We had to turn email notifications off, its every few minutes.

Re:Firewall

Yeh, especially some kid in Korea, he's constantly port scanning all our servers. You report him to the abuse address of his ISP and they do absolutely nothing.

Re:Firewall

I told his ISP that I am affiliated with the government and that the FBI is currently looking into the attack on our top secret systems.

LOL
