Ping = attempted hack
Accessing random address = hack
Port scanning = hack
Every single email = hack
Every connection they have = hack
Seriously, how did they come up with that number?
Each of my server got ssh login attempt at ~1 request / second. If you have 12 servers, that's already 1 million "hacking attempt" per day.
Using a different Port than 22 decreased these numbers significantly for me. Fail 2 ban is active nevertheless
So you are also a Wall Street Titan? Wow.
Do it yourself. Open an HTTP port, see what happens.
Once an open interface is discovered, people will start probing it.
It was a joke. Just like the article.
Open a port, see how quickly you get thousands of attempts per hour.
Now be JPM, with thousands of internet exposed interfaces.
Though I think the number is exaggerated, but I'd need to see what they own.
Should a port scan by a bad actor be considered multiple hacking attempts or a single hacking attempt?
Another way to think about it: if a burglar tries various windows and doors to find an unsecured opening, is that considered multiple burglary attempts or a single burglary attempt?
I wouldn’t even consider a port scan a hack.
It’s just like a thief looking at your home to see if there are any windows or doors open.
I wouldn’t consider a port scan a hacking attempt either but I think it would be more like trying to open the front door or attempting to open a window to see if it’s locked. But if people are trying to do that to my house I wouldn’t be real happy. Of course if you’re a business and someone tries to open the door before you’re open is that really a problem? I know I’ve done that before.
They are almost certainly being probed by thousands of requests every minute.
It's likely an aggregation of everything web exposed. Shit like jpchasewordpress.com/admin?sql"=injection attempt" with password credentials and shit.
Was going to say then I must be fighting off thousands a day with my router. Looked at the logs for fun one day and the amount of default port and credential attacks was insane.
