Wake up! Time to fly!
As many know over a year ago I got my phone hacked from someone who managed to get my password for the forums here. I didn't know much about phones and security then. Since then I have been REAL conscious of security. I have my firewall let me know when anything not normal happens.
In the last month I have been hit with 274 port scanning and security vulnerability intrusion attacks. 99% of them are out of St Petersburg Russia according to whois look up. 99% of these attack warnings occur when I am logged on the forums here or immediately after I log off.
What I would like to know is if any of you guys monitor intrusions this closely or just let your firewalls manage them and not bother you with warnings. I am really curious if I am being singled out or this is pretty much the case for everyone and there are just that many birds in the world. Would some of you more savvy guys look at your intrusion detection log and let me know if you see the same thing or if I should be worried and need to dig further or even get authorities involved.
I don't remember this many attempts in the past when I was on other systems or prior to the phone hack.
